Both the buttons are working independently but I can’t out how the actions seamlessly.

Thank you.

Is there a reason you don’t allow the other form to be submitted later when the “Buy call” form has been submitted? I assume for the journal you have to include the “Buy call” ID?

Can I buy call include multiple journeys?

As of right now, I am open to whatever will get the job done.

I set it up this way (two buttons) to make sure both actions worked.

Each transaction only needs only one journal. The other way I was doing it was hiding the journal with a switch.

Based on your reply what did you have in mind? I’m all ears! 🙂

If you are open, I’d love to get your feedback on how to resolve this.

It looks like you have a Custom Form there.  
My initial thought is that instead of opening a form with that button, use it to toggle a container visibility condition. That is, add the extra input fields that you need inside another container on the same screen, and initially hide it (use a User Specific boolean column for this). Then when the user clicks the “Buy” button, change that boolean to true, and expose the extra container. Then everything can be submitted at once.

Thank you kindly! I’ll get working on that ASAP.

Question:

To reduce screen clutter, is there a way to still have the extra screen pop like it’s a slide in?

You could, but don’t use a form screen. Use a Show New Screen-\>This item action.

Another option would be to hide the other containers when the second one is exposed.

Thank you. When I tried “show new screen” for the journal previously, the only thing it didn’t do was add the information on that first screen.

I’ll work on the hiding and go from there. Thanks for the reply!

Just to follow up, I utilized this suggestion and it’ll work.

Hiding the other information still makes it have a similar slide-in look.

Thanks for the reply and solution.
