Can’t find Form Screen in Glide builder (Target = Current)

1

I have a button on my Contact Details screen labeled “Add Past Activity.”
Here’s what’s set up:

  • Action: Show Form Screen → Add Past Activity
  • Target: Current
  • Destination Table: Past Activities
  • On Submit: Set Column Values (ContactID, Status = Completed, Activity Start/End = current date/time, etc.)
  • Condition: Allow action when contact_key is not empty

Everything works fine when testing — the form adds a new row to Past Activities as expected.

The issue:
I can’t find or reopen that Form Screen again inside the Layout builder to continue editing it.

My Goal
When this form is submitted, automatically copy the contact_key of the Contact being viewed into the ContactID column of the new Past Activity record.”

Without this step

  • I will end up with activity rows that are not linked to their contacts.
  • My relation (and all rollups like “Last Activity Date” or “Next Activity Due”) will never populate.
  • In the Glide layout, When a contact is clicked I will see no activity history, even though I’ve entered activities.

With this step:
:white_check_mark: Each new activity automatically attaches itself to the correct Contact, using the shared key.
:white_check_mark: My inline list on the Contact Details screen will show new activity notes as soon as they’re logged.

Thanks in advance! I’m sure I am overlooking something, but I want to make sure I’m following the correct workflow for editing form screens now.

Do you still see the “Add Past Activity” button to open the form. Click on it so the form opens and then make your changes.

Yes, but opening the form from Preview doesn’t seem to automatically go to Edit Mode.
It seem I am still viewing the form as a user, not as a builder.
As a result I can’t add fields or use “Set Column Values”

Why are you in the live preview mode? Can’t you just go back into building mode and click the button just the same. Live preview mode just makes the screen bigger for the app. You can still navigate the app normally from the builder.

Can you record a video of this behavior?
