I am not sure if this is possible but I’m creating an errand booking app that lets customers acquire the assistance of riders in doing their errands. I am able to edit a specific errand using the edit form from a layout tab but when I tried adding a Form Button component, set its action to “Link to …

So I guess we can’t create our own “Edit Form” screen similar to the built-in Edit Form screen that Glide provides? Please clarify this. EDIT: Yeah, guess I don’t need a button at all. Just a Text Entry component and it will automatically update. Looks like there’s no way to create a custom Edit Fo…

Have you tried to select Link to Screen ‘This Item’ instead of selecting Link to Screen and then selecting the sheet?

Hi! Thank you for the response, however I don’t see this action under the Form Button component.

Hi! I don’t see this either. The screen I’m trying to put the form on was already accessed through a View Details action with an unticked “Independent screen configuration per item” checkbox.

Can you not add input components to that screen? NB. I’m not suggesting that you add a “form” per se, but rather that you: add the input components that you need add a button associate an action with that button that does a Set Columns action (or Add Row, whichever is appropriate)

I can add input components in the screen. But I want the ability to let a customer edit their own notes. I have used the Edit Form tab for riders and it seems to get the ID from the previous screen. I have a programming background, and I want to know if its possible to pass some sort of ID to an act…

[image] Vanguardian_PH: EDIT: or are you trying to suggest to have a text entry component inside the screen instead of linking to a new screen? I haven’t tried this yet. Yes. text entry == input component

Yes, you can. Here is an example from one of my own apps. The below is a “View Details” screen that has been re-purposed as an Edit screen. Each input component is directed at the appropriate column. The existing value is shown, and can be edited. A Submit button (out of view), does a Set Colum…

I forgot to add, but I was trying to edit specific columns and not all columns. And like I said, the screen is already on a view details screen but I wanted to add a new screen within that view details screen for an edit form. My screens could have gone like this: Tab → Clicked on a record (with an…

[image] Vanguardian_PH: Tab → Clicked on a record (with an action set to View Details) → Information screen listing all the details of that particular record → A button that will redirect to an edit screen editing only specific columns. That’s exactly what mine is. The key is here: [imag…
