Issue with "back" action

Ask for Help

Hello everyone,

I found an annoying bug that I isolated in an app.
Basically, I cannot use “back” action to go back to another tab.
You can try it here: https://back-bug.glide.page/

How to replicate

  • In the editor,
    – Add a button to go to another tab.
    – On this other tab, add a back button.
  • In the app,
    – Click on the first button
    – Click on the back button

This is not a bug, it’s the way Glide works.
Tabs are top level screens, there is nothing above them and so nothing to go back to.
To get the behaviour you are looking for you should modify the action on your second button to use “Go to tab” instead of “Go back”.

Thanks, Darren. In this case, I need to go back to a specific project page instead of the Projects tab.

I tried to use “Open link” but on desktop it opens another tab, my users would be surprised by this behaviour.

Do you have a workaround for this?

I found what I need: the “Go to tab” action is enough, because it brings me back to the project’s detailed page, and not to Projects page.

Thank you again for your help!
