## 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 Many will be happy if you add it ---

You can use visibility conditions to control it. Set a value on entry to the Edit screen, and then show/hide components based on that value. ---

## Hi Yes it is possible But it’s a bit confusing and busy if there are too many situations Why not just do it as a separate new screen for editing As in the link to a new screen ---

Well I wouldn’t argue against it, just proposed a way to get what you want because I haven’t heard anything like this being in development. ---

Agreed, it would be nice for this to be an option. ---

I also would like to see this option! I’m 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. “Edit” should allow users to update basic information about the book, and “recommend” should update the status of the book from the default to “recommended”. I want these edit forms to be separate so that I can attach a “current date/time” only when a book changes status to “recommended” but not if only basic info is updated. I use the “current date/time” to tag when things are new adds, and I don’t 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 doesn’t 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 “are you sure?” message. ---

You could change the action to ‘Show New Screen’ → ‘This Item’ 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 doesn’t 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 “New Screens”, 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 “Required Fields”) ---

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 “detail screen” and showing a new unique layout for that detail screen, you select “Show new screen” When it comes to editing a record as a form, you don’t have an option to “show new form screen”, so if you actually want to change the layout of a form screen for editing purposes (not creating a new record), you’re limited to all edit screens looking the same. ---

Yeah, that’s 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. ---

Might as well add it 👀 Similar to the “show new screen” ---
