How do you copy & paste actions?

Hi @moshi,

Welcome to the community

@moshi

I built an entire sequence on a “button bar” element, but now want to change it to a regular button. Does that mean I’ll have to re-create the entire sequence?

By sequence you mean a custom action right? Then you need to build the action again,unfortunately

Save custom actions for reuse in other tabs

With the possibility of copying tabs should come the copy and reuse of custom actions as I have 3 screens with similar functions but just a different sheet and it’s such a waste of time to have to do it all over

Where are my saved Actions?

You cannot yet reuse actions, but we’re working on some large changes to Glide that will allow this.

P.S. Is there a way to save the “forms” as a template, I keep having to re-create them every-time I need them.

You mean once you build a form to create a record and need that form on another screen and you have to add the components again to build it? For this you can copy the built form components by right clicking and select copy all components and go to screen that you tried to add that same form again and delete the all components on that form screen ( you can right click on a component and right click to delete that all components at once ) and click Ctrl+V ( in mac I think Command-V ) or right click and click paste. Then connect the same table/sheet for the destination sheet.

Thank you
