Hi everyone, I feel I’m mising something: When you have a list and you use the “Add” button it creats a Form Page to implement new rows in it. Then I sometimes I spend a lot of time creating a complex form, with nice layout. If I need to re-use the same form somewhere else on the app I have to start over form scratch or copy paste every single element. I feels like a loss of time. It seems that forms don’t “live” somewhere or cannot be copy pasted. Am I mising something? Thanks a lot ! ---

If you create a custom action that opens your form, then you should be able to call on that custom action from multiple places in the app. ---

Including the “add new screen” action saved in a custom action will preserve the layout if you want to use it again.
