It looks like you are already using a built in form with it’s own submit button at the top right. Just curious why you are creating a separate button with an Add Row action? The top right button will already submit the data to the sheet.

If you are actually looking to create a custom form with a custom button, then I would recommend looking at this thread:

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…

Your current approach seems confusing and probably why it’s not working like you think it should.
