We would like to have an in-progress that creates a stuck screen for the user not to do any actions or navigate to any other screen to ensure that the actions took place in the background

The reason this is critically needed is that many actions get lost because they didn’t complete or the user clicked on a button and quickly jumped on another screen and this results in failure and many actions failed from users

Which actions fail when navigating to another screen? That shouldn’t happen.

I reported this as a bug but unfortunately it was closed here please check the thread

> [@Leaving focus fails trigger and action](https://community.glideapps.com/t/leaving-focus-fails-trigger-and-action/40451):

> So I noticed something and I wanted to make sure that am not the only one who produced this bug So if you have a submit form and this submit has actions on the submit and you just click on submit and jumped fast to another tab or left the glide app window, the triggers nor the actions like adding a row or set column won’t work Does anybody faces the same issues ?

Let’s say there is a button that is pressed by a user and then another button appeared as an example or I clicked on the back button after I clicked on a button that has action, the focus gets lost and the actions as well gets lost specially if I have a set column for a screen link as an example so only part of the actions gets done and the other part get lost in the wind

Hmmm…what about having a custom action going into and out of this form. You could set a true/false value in the user profile and have all tabs filtered against that value.

- So, you set a column - we’ll call it Hide\_Tabs - in the user profile to true using the button going into the form screen.
- Set visibility for all tabs to only show them if Hide\_Tabs is false (better to use unchecked).
- After they complete the form the action to submit changes the Hide\_Tabs value back to unchecked.

Hey @Yasin_Hassanien,

Do you have a support link to a project where this happens? Also, a screen recording to show the issue?
