Is there a good way to approach adding items to a row without being returned to the main tab. I’d like to add a row and then consecutively clear values and add another without having to go back and click through again ---

I ran into the same snag…it’s creating multiple rows…the right row and one that is blank (which is from clearing values) but still duplicating when a row is added. Maybe I don’t need the first add row? ---

Trying to add an item to a shopping list after selecting the list to add to. Using the card list and then custom action from selecting a shopping list. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/c/3cccb719ff74cd87424909a6a2a7e9cbbc5aa770.png) ---

this is an inline list showing what is in the list and uses a form to add another item to the list. ---

this is a form… so it will create a new row… then you are adding 2 more rows with custom action… that’s 3 new rows… are you trying to add items by clicking list? then you don’t need to use form ---
