I have a list of Trips to which I want to link Expenses. To upload the expenses, I created a ‘New Expense Multistep Form’ based on a ‘user-specific helper table’. This setup is necessary because the form uses some more complex AI functionality. In the form, the user needs to select their trip from a dropdown/choice component. However, I wonder if it’s possible to select the trip automatically when the form is accessed via the Trips detail page. Currently, I have a button on the Trips detail page that navigates to the ‘New Expense Form’ screen, but the user still needs to select the trip again manually. I could create a custom action that logs the TripId in the user’s table and then fetches it in the custom form to make a suggestion, but I can’t actually fill the fields in the table and this approach seems quite cumbersome to me. What would be the best way to achieve this? Your insights would be greatly appreciated! ---

On the button from the trip details page add a set column values to the action sequence and set the value of the choice component and… Happy Cake Day! ---

Hi Eric, I see indeed that I can create a relation between my details table and my helper table and then select that table to update in the set column values. I maybe wrong but I seem to remember it wasn’t possible a while ago to set column values of other tables than the current selected table/column or the user profile. But my issue is resolved many thanks for pointing out! 🙂 Tim ---

Glad I could help. It has pretty much always worked through a SINGLE relation… the key being SINGLE. ---
