My app includes 3 forms – one is a List style and the other two are Custom layouts, each draws from the same (data) Source. I would like to include the option to “Allow users to add items” from each of these forms. However, that option appears to be only available for the List style layout. Are there any creative workarounds for this or have I missed something? Thank you!

You can add an action to your Custom Collection that opens a Form Screen.

I haven’t explored the Custom Collection feature yet but that looks like it would do it. Thank you, Darren.
