In a medication inventory management application for my practice, the “submit” button conflicts with a button I created to update the inventory. So to fulfill its function, I must first press the “submit” button (to validate?), then come back and press the “stock update” button. How can I validate my operation without having to go through the “submit” button? ![Capture d’écran 2024-11-08 à 13.47.04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/b/2bbf8add8ebadfe0fd68c09a489113d998faeae0.png) ---

If I were you I’d keep updates via an edit screen and adds via a form screen separate. It’s safer to keep things separate. ---

Would you be okay with removing the button “Stock update” from the edit screen? ---

Thanks for your answer. I thought about removing “Stock Update” button and only use submit button (with Data \>\> Set colums Value) but i would like add an action (open an pop up screen when the stock value is “0” to purpose erase item) and for that, i need a button. I can’t do it with “submit” button. ---

I don’t understand exactly what you want to do, but I recommend you keep things simple: don’t add an extra button inside an add or edit screen. Just don’t. On the add or edit screens, include entry fields, if need be a few titles and images, and that’s it. You’ll stay out of trouble that way. ---

Thanks again. My project is simple. I have an Excel sheet that contains all of my medications (I work in a medical office). I want to create an application that does 3 things: - Update the stock after indicating the number of medications taken. - Suggest deleting the item when there are no more medications. - Send me a notification when the expiration date has passed. That’s all. ---

For a true push notification on your phone, you’ll need to wait until the workflow features is released in November or December, and you’ll need to be on a plan that allows you to use that feature. ---
