Form 'Submit' not active without input field-requires action first

In the old Glide, you could create a Form button and submit it with Text fields and Column fields, no need to have the user input any information. In the new Glide, I can only get the Submit button to highlight active by putting in a Number field or Checkbox. Not as elegant, is there a way to work around this?

Does it need to be a form though? You could just show a new screen with the same information and add your own submit button to add a row.

Maybe not, let me go try that set up. Thanks

I think it needs to be a Form because I need it to pull the component information from the Collection for each item in the Collection. I tried making the button open to a new screen, but then when I went to match the components with the Destination columns, the options didn’t match. But I could be not see it.

You should be able to use the ‘Show New Screen’ → ‘This Item’ from the collection to get a new screen for that item. Then when you create a submit button on that new screen, you should be able to use any of the values from that selected item. It should work very similarly to the way a form would.

Jeff, thought I had it, but I don’t see the “Column” components. Don’t they lift the information from the source and allow us to apply it to a target column on the Destination sheet?

I have Show New Screen as the action for this button, is that correct?

You set those values in the add row action on the button.

Wow, that is a big improvement over the old version, it auto fills in most of the fields. Thanks for teaching me such a huge time saver. :vulcan_salute:
