Okay, this is totally doable in Glide. I don’t have time right now to describe in detail, but I’ll give you the high level steps… - You’ll need to use a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014) so that you can do the “search” before the form is submitted. - I’d recommend using a single row Helper Table to drive your form. This table should have a series of User Specific columns - one for each of your form inputs. - Add a relation or query column to this table that targets your Global Suppliers table and filters by your matching criteria, using “This row” values from your User Specific columns - Then create a custom submit action with two conditional branches: – If the relation/query is empty (supplier not found), then Add a Row to your Global Suppliers table, as well as a row to your link table – If the relation/query is not empty (supplier found), then just add a row to your link table Hopefully that’s enough to get you started. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/search-action/68478)._
