How to save multiple items of the same type to the database?

Question

I have some data that I want to save of the same type. I see a method called user_data.create however when I use that, the data overwrites the previouse data when using the same short_name. The idea is that the short_name is the same but the values are different. When getting user data, I want to be able to get a list of items of the same type (when calling user_data.get) but I only get one item in the list. Is this even the right db object to use? I don't see other database objects that would support this in the docs.

Hello I would recommend you store a JSON string as the value That way you can store and append multiple values under the same short name You can do this via the methods outlined here https www adamsmith haus python answers how to create a json object in python With more of a description on how those functions work here https docs python org 3 library json html You could also store values under multiple short names but depending on the size and use of the data this is not a good solution but depending on certain use cases this may be a good solution Trey
