I've spent some time building some Interfaces and found that the best way to group things the way I want is to have a new table that holds groups as Linked Records. Here's the set-up:

Table 1: Events

  • {Day}
  • {Month}
  • {Year}
  • {Roster}

Table 2: Roster

  • {Day}
  • {Month}
  • {Year}
  • {Events (Multiple)}

This way I can roll up the team members and even build interfaces that help the Admin side adjust the roster by viewing a day's overview and then clicking into individual events. This all works perfectly!

Now I want to automate. I can build the automations to create or update the records in the Roster Table triggered when the Event table is updated. However, this seems largely inefficient. Sometimes when I edit events in bulk, it creates multiple Roster records since they all get updated simultaneously.

At the moment, I'm triggering this "manually" with a checkbox field. But this means I have to go into every single day and trigger just ONE of the events that day.

Am I missing something? There must be a better way that I'm unable to see!
