Hello
Would it be possible to add an option:
of different editing screens (and that the same editing screen does not appear)
I mean as in references to: a new screen, or a form screen
It will be possible to custom design several different types of editing screens - for the same line
In my opinion, this is a very powerful and useful idea for GLIDE PAGES
Provides great flexibility and ease of updating statuses by user or situation
I also would like to see this option! Iâm completely lost on how to achieve my goal of having different edit forms based on different links. I have a book club app and want users to have two edit links when clicking a book: edit or recommend. âEditâ should allow users to update basic information about the book, and ârecommendâ should update the status of the book from the default to ârecommendedâ. I want these edit forms to be separate so that I can attach a âcurrent date/timeâ only when a book changes status to ârecommendedâ but not if only basic info is updated. I use the âcurrent date/timeâ to tag when things are new adds, and I donât want them tagged as new every time someone makes a basic edit.
Not to mention only one edit form means one edit form title!
As an alternative, you can change your Recommend button to use a Set Column action, which will change the status and set the date. It seems that your recommend button really doesnât need to open a form. That way you can leave the Edit button only for editing basic information without updating the date.
Thank you! This seems to get at the issue. Is there a way to add a confirmation screen before completing the action? I need there to be some sort of âare you sure?â message.
You could change the action to âShow New Screenâ â âThis Itemâ with an overlay. Then on that screen add a button bar. The first button will have your Set Column action, and the second button could be a Go Back action to close the overlay.
It doesnât make sense that we can have multiple different form screens via advanced actions but only one edit screen. This seems like an oversight, please make this happen guys.
Can we have this please?
We can have multiple âNew Screensâ, but not Multiple Edit screens, which is an issue when you wanna it to be a form/edit submission rather than editing the values directly (for âRequired Fieldsâ)
So-
Here are he options when it comes to editing data in Glide
edit detail screen
edit form screen
Creating new;
add row
submit form
When it comes to editing a âdetail screenâ and showing a new unique layout for that detail screen, you select âShow new screenâ
When it comes to editing a record as a form, you donât have an option to âshow new form screenâ, so if you actually want to change the layout of a form screen for editing purposes (not creating a new record), youâre limited to all edit screens looking the same.
Yeah, thatâs fair. We have seen many requests in the forum for multiple edit screens. At the moment you have to use a workaround using a set column action + visibility condition to show/hide components as needed.
