Hi, how can I create a custom action for a button to go directly to the add-form (“+”) of a specific tab? Of course, I can go to that tab, but then I tried “show Form screen” and “show New screen” but without result. Wim

OK and I think I can do this with your help. But there’s still the question why Glide uses 2 different forms, one “add form” (with “+”) and another one when using actions…

The “+” is restricted for list views, to specifically add rows to the Sheet you’re using on that screen. When you switch to a details view that option can not be enabled anymore.

Are these “rules” documented anywhere in written form? If not, why not? Many if not most of the learning modules are pre 2.0 interface. It’s hard to pick up on and memorize all of the “rules” contained in video tutorials. It is much more helpful and efficient to search and browse written documen…

I believe Glide is in the process of updating all documentations to match the 2.0 version. Your idea is nice though, at the moment we’re willing to answer things for users here in the forum, and it would be great to have one centralized place to store those as a wiki to refer to.

I noticed that adding data with the action “show form screen” isn’t synchronized with the underlying Google Sheet. I can only see the new data in the Glide table (visible with the small table icon above the editor). Is this a bug? Or did I do something wrong? Wim

Same question, but now I’m wondering if we have a larger problem here. This is the third report this morning. [image] Not able to display value in sheet Ask for Help Are you using a free or pro app? Have you exceeded you limit on sheet edits for the month?

Also, are you sure the data is not at the very bottom of the sheet?

Good suggestion and indeed… I had 3 rows with data in the (test-)sheet and added (within GS) some lookup formulas in new columns. Then I copied those formulas to row 100 (to be used with every new data-line). Now, my 4th added data is on line 101. Instead of on line 4 So, it’s not a bug, but Gl…

Can you explain your formulas in more detail? Is it something that could be done in glide with relations and lookups? There are better ways to handle formulas in google sheets, such as arrayformulas, but if you can do the same thing with glide columns, then you are much better off.

The sheet includes very complex calculations. Team has been working on the sheet for very long & that’s the preferred medium. Everything was working fine till day before midnight. We’ve been facing this issue since yesterday morning. Attaching screenshots FYR: A/c status - spare space/edits etc P…
