[REQUEST] Return RowID of newly created row from an Add Row action

Whenever I create a custom form, I’d like to return the row ID of the newly created row back to the parent table. Currently, this is only possible when adding a row via the API.

My request is to add a new dropdown field on the Add Row action block That allows us to select a column to which will write the newly created row ID from the Add Row action. This is similar to the Glide API action blocks that allows us to write a response to a column once the action runs.

Voted.

Ditto on wanting this feature.

My current solution is to wait for the the new record to show up through a lookup / relation, but that seems to be causing issues/errors as of late.

[Client Success Tracker] Action

This would be a game changer.

Yes, would remove the need for additional relations and un-needed columns for UuID’s

I’m all for this request but what happens if 2 or more people submit the custom form at the same time?

It’s tied to the add row action which is triggered by the user so I would think it should be fine.

This would be such a godsend, now we have to resort to workarounds for a function which is used all the time.

Usually when you add a record, it’s related to a different record you’re currently in.

Just an update, this has been added to Glide already.

I saw! It’s such a complexity saver!
I hope we get local variables soon :eyes: instead of needing to save everything to the users table.

For some reason it doesn’t work for me. I specify the column, but nothing is written there.

Can you share more details/screenshots on your setup or a Loom video? Thank you.
