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 ](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/optimized/3X/a/6/a6789ecf8a6d99d77552b90ad67377f8b008bbf3_2_435x500.jpeg) ---

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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/0/005a30159955cda5eb42cf6873e80244c8815737.png) ---

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. ---
