Hello, I am having an issue because the collection is not appearing if there are no rows created that belong to that current user. The thing is that in that collection is the button to create a row. Does anyone know how to fix that? what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, ![Screenshot 2024-11-30 at 9.25.47 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/4/a41034b5c325f57e6677330a955745725f381551.png) ![Screenshot 2024-11-30 at 9.15.38 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/3/f314fad155a55951952e14db3852c53f56194780.png) ---

But in another collection there are no rows and it does appear, everything seems to be exactly the same. Why is this? ![Screenshot 2024-11-30 at 9.33.18 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/b/2b43377f6f407557aae76ab04538a0da3dc1ae53.png) ---

Do you have any conditions tied to that button or conditions tied to that button’s action? ---

Hi Thinh! No, everything is exactly the same on those two examples… could it be because a column is user specific? I though it was because of the workflows and if they had some sort of condition, I eliminated the conditions and still wont appear with the buttons. ---

Are the types of collections the same? Are both screens connected to an existing row? One difference I can see in your screenshots is that the collection that works has has extra actions next the the Add button. What other actions do you have associated with that collection? For something to try, what if you copy the working collection component and paste it on the screen where it’s not working, and then change the source of the collection if necessary? A fallback option is to add a separate button to open a form. ---

Hi Jeff! It is weird because they are the same. Also I did what you mentioned, copied the collection and three of the buttons dont appear, and they are just a show form screen and show new screen. ![Screenshot 2024-12-02 at 10.47.32 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/0/f0754550ffa39cef9547c744b9e2290f80ecbbcf.png) ![Screenshot 2024-12-02 at 10.49.27 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/7/b7d1332e9ce28ee9359f23a7706628accc396fda.png) ---

Figured it out. I had some of the buttons configured to “This Item” so that is why they did not appear. Thanks again Jeff and Thinh ---
