Hi guys, My custom action is super simple, 1. Go Back 2. Open Form It was working fine, but this morning it started bouncing back and actually skipping step #2. I tried to test “Notification” as a third step, and this one is working, So not sure what the problem is 😕 ---

I believe forms must be opened from Detail screens. Can you explain a bit more about your use case? ---

@Ryan by use case, I mean, the particulars of your app that make you want to open the form _after_ you go back, rather than go back after you close the form, for example. Would the latter option be acceptable? ---

Isn’t the default behaviour to go back to the previous screen after submitting a form anyway? I don’t think that original action (Go back… Open Form) is even necessary. That being said, other actions that take place after the form submit would be very helpful (going to a different tab, for example). ---

I know, I tried to go “two steps” backwards (submitting a form is one step + “go back” which will get me back to the tiles view). Anyway, removed the “go back” step and yet the form doesn’t open. ---

Had to recreate the same form using the same go back + open form method, and it’s now working; not sure what the problem was. Now I have a different issue, the mobile app is behaving differently than Glide editor, PFA (apologies for the Hebrew 🙂 ) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/3/2378f3f5ef23ce9adfa88f603e5eb208ff422052.png) ---

@david This just happened again with two of my apps ☹ It was all working this morning and stopped working out of the blue, without me changing anything. ---

Strange. Can you please send us a [loom.com](http://loom.com) video showing the behavior? ---

Sure - [https://youtu.be/Fk3O8sLKTC4](https://youtu.be/Fk3O8sLKTC4) Happy to share a link to the app but prefer to do so in private. ---

@david Any update please? This has happened across a brand new app I just built (same non-working scenario, but not nearly closed to the rows limit). The only ways to “fix it” is to: 1. Deatch the actions option and move back to the old basic form option 2. Recreate the same form in the pre-existing action
