Hi gliders! 👋  
It seems I already solved such issue but forgot 🤔  
How to get the RowID of just added Row in the native table WITHIN the same Actions after AddRow? 🙄  
SingleColumn does not keep up - it gives out the RowID of the record that was the last BEFORE adding - seems too short time to found the new one((.

You can’t. Add Row action doesn’t allow you to retrieve the Row ID within the same action…and you’re right…single column value \> Last will result in an empty value because it happens too quickly.

The only way to get a value from the newly created row would be to use a Glide Form rather than a custom form with Add Row action and then use an “on submit” action to capture the Row ID.

Hi Bob 👋  
Thank you very much for your attention. But it was too hard for me to stop this issue as impossible 😉 So I remembered the way i solved this before as @christoph described it [here](https://community.glideapps.com/t/in-action-can-we-add-a-new-row-in-parent-sheet-get-the-id-of-the-newly-inserted-data-and-insert-that-into-a-new-child-sheet/40931/6).  
It works! By putting an unique ID into the user row, I insert that ID into an user specific column while adding the new row. Having a relation in an User Table looking for that ID in the just added Row, I retrieve it’s Row ID through a lookup.  
Done 😃
