We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
I understand how to create users that can edit their own data, by creating an integer column and naming it user_id. But how can i get this column to auto populate from the users login.
It seems i have to enter the user id number myself. Or give the user the option to edit this column which i don't want. If i hide the column from the user, and i am logged in as a user and try to add an entry it leaves the user_id column blank and thus doesn't show me any entries.
Shouldn't this column just auto populate when the user goes to add an entry to their table with the users ID which it knows from the login details?
Please help
Hello Joy
Thank you for your purchase.
If you add a user_id column, you also need to enable "Users see and edit only own data" feature, and select that column to be the User ID column in Editing tab above the table.
That way, the user_id column will not be editable, and will be automatically detected for each user.
Kind Regards,

Thank you. Not sue what i was doing wrong but finally got it to work!
Another question though - I would like a column that uses possible values from another data table, which i have figured out how to do. Except it only gives me a 'single line select-box' option. I need a 'multi-line select-box' option but its greyed out.
I tried creating several columns with the same name in order to select more than one option from the other table, but it makes filtering difficult and messy.
Is it possible to use possible values from another data table but with a multi-line select option for the user and if so how please?
Hi again Joy
Unfortunately, if you're using the Foreign Key feature the only limitation is that the only possible editor input type for those columns is the single-value selectbox, since the options are limited with respect to what the remote table contains.
You may be able to use SQL Query based tables and create the relation you need, but please note that writing custom queries isn't included in the plugin's support, so I can't help you with that.
Kind Regards,
