I’ve added a button (not a button block) which turns into a button block automatically it seems. So not sure why there are two options. But I added a button, and I added an action. I need this button to do more than one action when clicked. However, if I add actions it makes more buttons automatically and I cant make it stop. So I have no way of making a button do more than one action. I checked the action I made, it does not allow me to stack them without making more buttons. All faqs I can find mention using “custom action editor which I don’t see”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/9/5922660b52e3ee3213ece645d33cd0c86d9feecf.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/8/3869fbf5bef2d7db4b840e44e70d1adf8499fbde.png) ---

That’s because you are adding additional buttons. Delete the last 2 actions (buttons) and instead change your first action to use a new workflow. In the workflow editor you can string multiple actions together. ---

> [@Round\_Robin](#): > > I’ve added a button (not a button block) which turns into a button block automatically it seems. So not sure why there are two options The `button` and `button block` component are the same component with different settings. One is set to displaying one button and the other two. This is similar to the four title components: it’s the same component with four different settings. > [@Round\_Robin](#): > > I need this button to do more than one action when clicked As Jeff suggested, attach a workflow to the button. Workflows are built in the Workflow Editor – top of the screen, third tab after data and layout, just before settings – and workflows can be sequences of actions, with conditions if needed. ---

Im noticing a new limitation that you cant make different actions in workflow update different tables. You can only update one table at a time? ---

If you have a relation to the row you want to update, then you can do it. ---
