I’m making an app where a work order’s status can be updated using a form screen. I have two ‘choice’ components, work orders and status. When i click submit a new row is created vs. updating the row with the work order. How do I get the form to update vs. create a new? ---

A form will always add a new row, that is what it is for. If you want to allow users to edit items, then enable editing. > **[Glide • Adding, Editing, and Forms](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/guides/core/adding-editing-forms)** > > Let users add and edit your data in different ways. ---

How can i trigger a push notification from a simple edit of an item? ---

If you are using an Edit Form to make changes, you should have the ‘On Submit’ option where you can add a Notification action. ---

I added a form container to the details page with a choice component to update the status in the work order table. Everything is working correctly with the notifications except that it adds a new line in the work order table instead of updating it. ---

A form container will always add a new row, so don’t use that. Just enable editing, or add a button and assign a Show Edit Screen action to it. ---

Thank you Darren. I’ve done this and it edits only the row when i click submit ont he edit screen. I wish there was a way to add an action to that edit screen that sends out a push notification when i hit submit. I just added another button besides the “edit status” button that says “send notification” to do this. ---

You should be able to create an onSubmit action on your Edit screen to send the notification.
