The purpose of the Add Form is to create a new row, there is no getting away from that.

To do what you want you should just use a [details layout](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/topics/ux/details), then have your input components writing to [user specific columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/product/data-editor/user-specific-columns). Doing it this way will have the following benefits:

- You’ll just use a single row, over and over again
- You’ll be able to show the results in real time, without having to wait for the form to be submitted
- You can have two or more users interacting at the same time, without them tripping over each other
