I’m bulding a Customer facing Glass Window Quoting System - So the customers puts there personel Details Like Name, Phone, email Adres, etc, into a Form when they hit submit, they taken to next screen which is a detail screen Which has cascading Dropdown Choices - The reason i moved to a details as there are over 5500 window combinations - So They choice between door or window, the next choice then shows if they select Door show all the Door Product Names  
here are the cascading Dropdowns Door or Window | Product Name | Panel Type | Height | Width. these work perfectly as a detail but the problem is They are not adding a new Row they just keep writing over them selves. So I with the Form I have created Parent Table for the customer details & Child Table for teh window deails - BBut stuck getting the details to craete a new row in the child Table . Can help me with this problem It has me confused as how to tackle this situtaion \_ Thank you any shared wisdom in advance

You need a button with an Add Row action. Also, your choice components should be writing to User Specific Columns, otherwise your users will be clobbering each others data. Essentially what you are creating is a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014).

Thanks I’ll look into adding button with Add Row Action. I’m not sure a user Specific Columns as The customers are not logging to get access; they get access from a qr code so will this still work

No, that’s incorrect. The only difference is that if a user is not signed in, then User Specific values will not persist across sessions/browsers.
