Hello Gliders! Is there a way to add a simple action (like set a boolean column to false) when the user presses the CANCEL button on a form? Or when the user changes screens? ---

How about if you were to set it to false on the way into the form and then set it to true if the form is submitted? ---

I can try that. But how do you set it to false on the way into the form? ---

Change the button that opens the form to a multi step workflow that first sets a column value before opening the form. ---

I am afraid to do that change because then all the fields on the form dissapear, and it is a big form! ---

Copy the button if you want to test it first, but changing the action to ‘create new workflow’ has always retained the original action but placed it inside of a workflow without losing anything. ![1000006532](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/d/adb6362851f0280f38354f381588b12f5a2ee0b0.jpeg) ---

OK I did that but I lose the original form. How do I “call” the original form in my workflow? (without changing anything of the original form) ---

So you created the workflow through the existing button that opened your form and not by creating a new workflow from the workflow tab, correct? ---
