Increment Action Not Working In Edit Form

The increment action will work elsewhere to perform this same action, so I don’t think it is a relationship or linking issue, but the increment button just doesn’t do anything on the edit form screen. Is this a common issue?

Are you doing the increment on submit of the edit form? Frankly I don’t ever rely on updating the same row with anything on submit. It’s been very hit or miss for people. At most I’ll use the On Submit feature for notifications or navigation to other screens or tabs. I think the problem is that actions run very fast… probably at the same time or faster than an add or update happens.

Instead, I would probably create a math column that takes the existing number and adds 1. Then have your edit form write that calculated math value to the number column you want to update. I think it will be much more reliable.
