You could create a button (canvas) with some relation controls that are based on each row’s existing config. Update all those rows with the new values you choose in the canvas controls via the modifyrows formula.

I believe @Cristian_Nichifor has the right approach.

What you are describing is an automated process.
There are 3 ways to implement an automated process in Coda.
But they all involve using an ‘action’ formula (a formula that has side-effects and must be triggered)

  1. a Canvas Button that takes values from control-values and other tables and updates your table(s)
  2. a Table Button Column that does the same but has the context variable thisRow for the row you click on
  3. an Automation Rule that is triggered by changes to row data (◦◦◦ → Doc Settings → Automations)

The formula you use in any of these situations will execute one of the table updating formulas to change the values you want to change

  • AddRow() - to insert a new row into a table
  • AddOrModifyRows() - to update rows or (if they don’t exist) insert them
  • ModifyRows() - to change values in existing rows
