A couple of questions on the Form Screen: Q1: Does the default “submit” button always add row? Q2: Where do I assign default column values to the new row? Q3: Can I hide the default “cancel” and “submit”, as I may want to use more visually attractive (as well as localized texts) buttons like the button bar? Q4: if the default buttons cannot be hidden, how can I configure the added buttons to perform the same actions as the default? Thanks for your help! ---

You can’t customise or hide the Submit/Cancel in the native form. If you want a form with your own buttons, then you’d need to create a Custom Form. > [@How do I create a custom form?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014): > > I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula… ---

Thanks for the clarification! So it seems “form” is more for information gathering. In applications when more complex actions are needed it is better to use “detail screen”. ---

> [@P\_Redjo](#): > > when more complex actions are needed Possibly, yes. We use “detail screen forms” to allow for multi-step forms, or to allow for input that’s based on conditional relations, etc. ---

After trying this and that, I have gone back to use “form screen”. I find “on submit” still the most natural place to configure custom action in addition to the default “add row” because it a record is added only “on submit”. The detail screen requires more work to keep things consistent. I would be happy to see a standard component “submit form button” (to be consistent with the standard component “form button” to open the form), or a standard action “on submit form”, to allow a button to perform the same actions as the standard “submit” button.
