Tres bien, c’est simple. Aussi, le bouton de retour marche. ![IMG_8576](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/e/de708f19bda5b95ab3e563ffece0a4eb4169adf4.jpeg) ---

BTW…clever solution using the main screen/go back button like that. Outside the box! 👏 👏 ---

Correct. In order to save the value of the URL parameter after you navigate away from the page you landed in, you need to save it in a User Specific column using a custom action.

Hi guys! I’ve come across this problem a lot and have never found a solution that convinced me beyond hiding the button with CSS in Classic Apps. But this approach that @Jeff_Hager commented on, I loved it and did a test to see if it worked… and it works perfect! Attached I leave the screenshots with the test. ![screen.01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/a/da99de1b9b8f307868e862e2160bc49fdee2efb2.png) ![screen.02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/a/7a224c08f2b6446800ca98dab56f881bacc29aea.png) ![screen.03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/0/203b48ab4136bf7bd18d9061afa698d9abb0efbf.png) ![screen.04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/1/11bf241b9f805b29a8c1bc4c9f701b91c3c6f2c6.png) ![screen.05](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/0/e0ad2ffb78c5547dbdef98a1ed9931bac357ff1c.png) ![screen.06](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/0/60b7e2b2963e37292100cf83309cabe1100a09df.png) ![screen.07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/6/46832e82750eea3132a376c3d7406e5e06ecacad.png) ![screen.08](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/b/0b529db33a854dfc3101d59421ff9d727e685085.png) ![screen.09](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/8/f869103b8b9097437cb8a9f8e7edbb8e9544de56.png) ![screen.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/e/7ef6491add888e3882830e3ddac6900507e6f98c.png) ![screen.11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/5/c582980d946f9cde1a23b06be796a5360f54da2b.png) ![screen.12](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/8/7835da39bc198c244bd80403d3ff9e90c69355d3.png) [Previous page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/hide-the-go-back-button-on-mobile-device/62949.md?page=1)
