Good afternoon,  
I’m using FORM SCREEN to include records in the table, but I need to check if there are duplicates within the table.  
Is there any way to do this or will I have to create a CUSTON SCREEN to check via Relation?

Yes, you can use the “new form screen” action to show a completely new screen with the current context. But why do you want that if you can just add these information in the current form you have ?

Hi Maxine,  
I need to check if there is already a similar record to not allow inclusion.

You can use this screen values to your conditions and filters from the form itself:

That would allow you to see the result without submitting! Even better what you think ?

I need to check it through a RELATION otherwise I won’t be able to. There are a lot of records to check.

In this case, you probably want a helper table to save the form values in user-specific columns to be able to compute a relation from that data.

I agree with you.

Big hug.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…
