Hi everyone, I’m excited to ask my first question here in the forum.  
I have a list of movies I will call him A, for each movie I want to fill in its details.  
I have a connection between each movie and a different list of movies I will call him B, what I want is that when I click on a movie from list B (on a button or something similar), the details will be entered into the movie from list A.  
Hope I am clear enough, I have added a screenshot to try to explain better …

Hey @chaim  
Your screenshot seems to be missing.

From what i understand, you have a list of movies and Movie A is connected list of other movies.  
If someone click on a movie from the list of other movies, you need some value in A right?

If yes,  
Create a relation between movie A and movie B.  
On click of the item in the inline list of other movies,  
Add action to set column values and choose the relation in “Item”  
You should be able to see fields of the other movie in the relation and you can add your respective value.

Make sure the columns are user specific, so it doesn’t affect other users.

Thanks for drawing attention to the missing video …  
I added it.  
I actually have 2 lists and each one has several movies, I have already created the optional relation between the movies in list A and the movies in list B.  
What I want is to give the user an option to choose if a movie B matches a movie A, and then if it does, do an action that will copy the details from the movie selected to the movie A list.

Isn’t it easier to just add a user specific check box if it performs the other condition and use that as a filter?

How will the data be copied from the movie in list B to the movie in list A ?

You can set column values when the user clicks on something!

When you click in “Same” from list B, you can create a custom action where you’re gonna add a row + another action you prefer.

In this **Add Row** action, you have to add the list A item ID to create a relation into it wherever you need to show it.
