My first app, built a year ago, has a form button within a form button.

Form to add new order \> choose client \> if client doesn’t exist, form button to add new client.

I noticed I can no longer add form buttons within form buttons. Will this ever come back?

Why was it removed?

Looks like it’s not a new change.

I’ve always avoided doing that because I’ve heard in the past that people have had issues with the form getting cleared out when going to another form or screen, then coming back to their original form. I can’t confirm that is the case, but I found this:

> I have no idea if this is a big deal to anyone other than me, but something changed in glide and now a feature I used to really need in my app is not usable. I used to have some List Relation components in some of my forms. It was important for my app since mine is a content creation platform and part of the content submission process involves attributing other content on the platform. Providing a relational list of that other content allows users to quickly browse that other content to refresh …

I only wonder if it maybe caused issues in some cases.

My issue actually resolved itself and no longer clears out forms. But I’ve never tried to put a form inside a form.
