A form that writes into the leave\_trans table should be enough. When you configure the choice component, you will still be able to choose employee master table as the source of it ---

Is there a reason you don’t configure it as a native form? It does look like you’re using a custom form there. ---

yes that is custom form, hopefully any suggestion in my case. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/f/8fe9d7cad6e520a83901a12295d58492c268c3e9.png) is’t possible to create custom button action unbound to employee table? the action button would execute to save data (name and date leave into trans\_leave table). ---

Is it just an employee submitting for themselves or they can submit for others? If it’s the first case, then you can just have a form container on the screen, insert a “Date Picker” component for “Date Leave”, and automatically collect the “Emp ID” as an “additional column” on the right-hand side. ---
