Hello everyone,

I am building an app where a user can add items to a “kit”.

There are two workflows I am having trouble with:  
1.) Selecting a “kit” and then adding items to it.  
2.) Selecting an item and assigning it to a “kit”

I know this is a common feature and I was wondering if anyone has a solution I can start implementing?

Hola @Dcuras

Take a look a these. They might help you get started.

It requires 11 columns and a 6-action Custom Action. Not for the faint of heart, but the end result is very slick and requires no extra rows!

That was exactly what I was looking for. 😄

Time to implement it into my app!

Thanks!
