Append to cell

[Aveyron-RetD]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Problem identified : Not possible on the same cell to append content. All content is available.

Issue I would like to solve : only one row for multiple users, instead of multiply the same row for multiple users.

We are working in a regulatory environment where we do track the readings of our documents by individual users. We usually have to sign the entry in a table to show that we did read the document on the date xxx.

I believe the Tables app could replace already that today with creating for each user an indiviual row of what they need to read, but this solution will require 100s of raws, while one raw could be sufficient with the proposed solution.

Describe the solution you'd like

.Have a column with all the users that must read the document XX
.Have a column with all the users that have read the document XX <= Append to cell userid to this column automatically filled in.
.Have a column which can append some data to the same cell (Tick box (I have read the following document )and . Date)

Create a filter view with userid that needs to read the document and have not read the document = People can track who has not read the document.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Like as said, one row for each user, but this seems unmanageable by someone with lots of users. Would need some automation...and the table app would be quickly filled in.
The solution above seems manageable by a human with groups and circles, and would reduce the size of the table drastically.

Additional context

Very good for small teams etc...

Note: the appended row will be added to a rich text field table.

Thanks for your contribution @Aveyron-RetD.

It seems to me that what you need can be accomplished with just adding the ability to add more than one user to the users and group type. Is that correct? For the rest we can use views and toggles.

The doable way today is to request each user to add his @username to the read column (user and group columns type), and the document to read will be filtered out of their view.

But this seems not to be an elegant solution because they can see other people answers and I have no way of tracking other things like a comment or something.

The row being the same they will share the same info, so I will not be able to track users input, and they will be able to overwrite other user's input.

You could also do something like below create a table with rich text field but you cannot mention yourself or someone in a rich text field nextcloud/text#6879

But again I have no way to enforce something like that, and they can overwrite or delete the table

Maybe could be solved by #2248 ?
If understood, from the screenshot I would have a separate table read document which would be doing exactly that.
