![CleanShot 2024-05-06 at 20.21.59](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/8/2887770ae0097f7ab4b0b88f4b99ee26a69cca70.jpeg) 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? ![CleanShot 2024-05-06 at 21.06.02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/39e1406d2a81a8105f71a1ad13aacccfafef4b74.jpeg) I have Show New Screen as the action for this button, is that correct? ![CleanShot 2024-05-06 at 21.07.52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/3/9346a4379fa7a7a8f21c4745edf7048aa79fe34b.png) ---

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. 🖖 ---
