How do I add values in Form to another table not being accessed from UI

If I even trigger the action. I can just add another row right? I will not be able to write the value to the particular column.

Other issue I have is I have already configured a custom action at same place. Can I add multiple custom action?

Right now I cant see the option.

Kinda of read through here, I think I know what you’re wanting to do… instead of having all those values inside of the same table, create another table and place all of the values in one column that you want the users to pull. Create a Choice Component, have it Write To column A of your original table, make the Source the new table and select the column the values are stored in that you want to display.

Example:

Original Table (Choice Component > Write To COLUMN A)
|
COLUMN A
Row 1 | (Empty Value) |
Row 2 | (Empty Value) |
Row 3 | (Empty Value) |
Row 4 | (Blue) | Selected by user who submitted the new form.

Helper Table - (Select this as the Source)
|
COLUMN A
Row 1 | (Blue) | This will list these values as options.
Row 2 | (Green) |
Row 3 | (Yellow) |

Not sure if this helps at all, maybe not even what you were going for… but it sounds like it may solve your issue.

Thank you for the reply,

I have done exactly that.

My Table B , Column A has all the choice component that is to be displayed as drop down (Source for Choice component)

In my UI (Front end) Source of data/destination is Table A

There is Choice component → Source of this is Table B Column A.

In the same UI there is a Text Entry Component —> When user enters some value tot his it should write the value to Table B Column A.

I am somehow confused on how to achieve this.

Even using of action doesn’t really help me achieve this as I cant write specific value to specific Table and Column.

Ahhh… So you want the user to be able to add more options to “Tab B - Col A” if necessary, while still being able to select options to from “Tab B - Col A” to write into “Tab A - Col A”.

Am I understanding that right?

Yes correct

One of the advantages of the choice component is that it is not bound to which table it should belong to or be placed in. It does not necessarily have to be created in a specific table, as it can pull data from any table.

You can just write a new row to that table with only one value for the specific column, or am I understanding something wrong?

What action are you using? If the logic is sound, you can add conditions and more branches as needed.

I am using a custom action where the Value is taken to assign values based on Currently selected list view item, And then show the detail screen.

Its a custom action I am using

I have collection and inside that I am using container to show another collection.

Basically on the basis of my item selected from first collection I can add items to second collection.

Can you give me a screenshot of that action?
