When i am click into a collection of records on a specific record and open up the detail view for it, instead of going back to the previous screen to get to the next record, is there a way to put a left / right arrow that just jumps to the next record in the order? I dont want to have to keep going in and out

I’ve seen people ask for this before, but I’ve never actually tried it myself. Turns out it’s pretty easy to do 😉

Just be aware that every time you tap one of those buttons, that’s an update.

Here is an alternative solution that doesn’t consume updates. Basically you create an array with all the items and iterate through it using custom Next/Prev buttons.

I apologize, maybe I’m just not very sensitive to the difference between special terms.  
Variant 2 flip dog?

Thank you for the detailed walkthrough, that worked great! The only issue is I expect the back button in the top left corner to take me to the previous page, not the previous record. Is there a way to do that?

Many ways to do this. Make sure you add the breadcrumbs component. Or add a button and add an action to the button “Go back”.

Your request would warrant a new post since your question is a different topic.
