This drives me crazy (not being able to have two edit screens for the same table, without jumping through hoops)

Any update from Glide?

@Andrew_Davies Ha! I too sought out this feature request to bump this request and commiserate.

@Brett This is my new select mode. We _ **need** _ a “Show New Edit Screen” action.

Voted!

This is my “Can we please oh pretty please not have `Cancel` and `Discard` on the edit column modal when we click away?” It’s an internal joke between DJP and I, a joke which is not funny!

I actually don’t mind this, except it makes no sense to have the popup if you made no edits to the column. That would be a wonderful adjustment.

Robert has posted an interesting video here :

>
> waving_hand Hey fellow Gliders! Glide gives us several types of “Show Screen” actions that allow our users to access, edit, and navigate between various data records, but how do they each function? In the video below, I provide an in-depth explanation of Details Screens, “New Screens”, and Edit Screens, how they relate to one another, and how to create CUSTOM edit screens (think “Show New Edit Screen”) since this type of screen doesn’t yet exist in Glide (if you want this feature, vote below)…

Please note that it is 2025. Glide has grown significantly and now allows you to create ERP solutions, but without this functionality it is becoming increasingly difficult to build logic.

I mean, there is a workaround with new screen and Helper Table. But a native way of doing edit screen would be more than amazing!

It can even be made much more convenient, you can make two options for example:

1. Edit Screen - It is one for the entire table, just like it works now
2. New edit Screen - Adds the ability to create a new editing screen

As a result, you get two options for Edit Screen and it makes it easier to build screens, I am sure many developers will be very happy with this functionality

This is very necessary when I have 50 people working in the program with different rights and entering data into one table. When it comes to editing screens, I just want to cry.

Talking about permissions, I recommend you to check out my post here:

> If you’re using Glide apps and need secure control over user permissions, be aware that Glide’s visibility conditions (like showing or hiding buttons for certain roles) are not a security feature. While these conditions are helpful for managing the app’s appearance, they do not protect actions at the backend level.

Please consider this idea, it will allow you not to rewrite the current functionality, but simply add a new one to the existing one.

I am sure for everyone this option is the most profitable and convenient to implement.
