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.

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.
I saw! It’s such a complexity saver!
I hope we get local variables soon 
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.
