defining actions for the “edit form” pencil sign would allow gliders to set more complex conditions.  
such as: increment and conditional visibility of the pencil so that only one user can edit the screen on the same time.

There is a [workaround](https://community.glideapps.com/t/edit-action-from-button/13278/3) with a button and the action “link to screen” & “this item” but it has some UI and functionality limitations.
