Go I to the data editor and edit the columns to be number columns to see if it makes a difference.

I need to know what you are doing, and why, before we can design anything to help you.

Odd…mine only shows “This item” as an option.

Is no one else suffering from the add row action only working in the builder and not in a live app?

@Jonathon_Kohn yes, I have come across a few situations where the actions work in the builder and not the live app. You are not alone.

@david As we talked that time by video call, one of usecases is one of my accounts where I have a business which I created an template/white label app to duplicate and create a new app to every new client.

Nowadays, I’m creating this actions in this template app, but I already have 11 son apps to implement this actions too.

Hi everyone, here are my suggestions:

1. Choose custom actions from a list of custom actions.  
Why? So you don’t have to create 10x the same button on different pages.

2. Allow ‘screen columns’ to populate the sheet, all the time, not just in forms.  
Why? So you don’t even need do differentiate form pages from normal pages since you can use varioues entries, and also for math purposes.

3. Allow the option “required” all the time, not just in forms.  
Why? For the same reason as 2.

4. PLEASE, allow copy/paste of all the hard work you do on one page, to another page, same for item list, same for any layout, same for any filter/visibility, etc…

5. Allow edit directly from the table (for text and other) and allow click on item from the table (images, veideos, etc.)

6. It’d be nice to have the option to display an empty cell/column with a custom text when it’s empty (like “—” or “add/edit”)  
…

more to come

If you add the option required all the time, and you don’t add a button, what’s that gonna do?

</div>

I see your point, but since we can go back and send notification, I create my own “SUBMIT” buttons and thus they could be tied to a verification of “required” fields. Could that be possible?

I checked this and they were set to ‘number’ already - I guess I had already done that.

I copied the example that was given here on how to track unique views in the video.
