Application variables
Is it possible to create a table where defined application variables could be updated? How fields of this table could be defined to call the application variable
Forum Discussion
Actually there is an API for that. So it does mean you could enter a value on a record and push a button to call an API to update the Application Variable.

- My question is related to the first one. I manage to make a formula in table 2 that is able to include the same value in all records in an specific fielt refering to a variable. ToNumber([var1]). This was ok. But to change the value is not very practical to go to the application variable menu to change the varialble value. This is the reason why I wanted to create a table to access to edit these variable values. I am new with quicked and I have not idea what an API is and where I have to put it or write it. I assume is not easy but could you give me a clue or a document where it is explaned. I ckeck the user guide, but where API functions are defined, but this does not help me. I have not a clue how it works
- If you are not comfortable with llearning APIs then a solution without APIs was posted as my first suggestion.
If you want to learn about APIs I put an app in the Exchange called APIs for Dummies. It's a good starting point on the basics for making a URL formula button to do something. I have never done an API myself to update an Application variable and I'm not sure when I will have time to test that.
