I have a table with the Add Row action enabled.

However, when I click on the button to add a new record it comes prefilled with the first row’s Row ID and some of the data.

It will create a new row based on what I change, or just duplicate the first row if I change nothing.

**The Table as it is set up.**

**The NEW form**

Notice how it has the same Row ID as the first row. It sometimes loads with the Row ID info, and sometimes doesn’t. I’ve messed around a lot with this one I’m not sure what is triggering this.

**Data Table**

for reference this is the data. Notice how it starts with the first row ID

I believe it’s just a component that Glide automatically added to your form screen. You can just delete it if you don’t use it.

I need to use it 🙂  
Or somewhere to add a new record.  
But for some reason it keeps referencing the first row, so I can’t add references to the SO.

I tried a multi-step form that copies over the data, but that is sharing the first row with all users, despite it being set to “Column is User Specific”

I mean it looks like a collection is there in your form. Do you need to use it?

Normally you should just point the form to the right table and add entry components there.
