There should be a bunch of components that represent all available columns for the respective profile row as long as the form is created on top of that profile detail screen. If that’s not working for you, then you will need to provide some screenshots to explain your problem. ---

> [@Jared\_Gibb](#): > > On the profile, there’s a button who’s action is show the form popup What is the action on the button? Is it `Show Form Screen` or `Show Edit Screen`? It should be `Show Edit Screen -> This item`. Unless your intention is to add a new row, which I assume is not the case. ---

ok. SO I realized that when the button displays the form ![Screen Shot 2023-10-15 at 8.03.34 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/c/1c289d9148b8ee346601909a6e1b601d59581181.jpeg) i have to manually reference the values from the profile screen ![Screen Shot 2023-10-15 at 8.04.19 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/d/6d52ba936c29d744cdeba6ba15eb7b5740a1ff0c.jpeg) and what was weird was having to map those immediately to a column in the table this form submits to. ![Screen Shot 2023-10-15 at 8.05.23 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/f/1f6690bf817569efd242be944a9eab289a0c821e.jpeg) I also had to create a template column for the because concatenating text on screen is lacking ![Screen Shot 2023-10-15 at 8.07.20 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/2/f2bbbe3efc485afc228b2afebea1ee592f875253.jpeg) so now they can see the form, verify the item they want, and send the email to the maker who can then email them back. ![Screen Shot 2023-10-15 at 8.10.41 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/3/430a3c145f1fe2c4dd5aaf2549389ec2c17b24c7.jpeg) basically i want users to be able to send an email to the seller. its a very very very basic app for an 11 year old. no admin panel. no seller side marketplace. basically she needs to be able to add items to airtable and communicate via google email. this was as simple as i could get it but it works!
