Unable to Create Blank Form Screen in Glide

Hi, I’m building a Consume/Rebuild screen and need help creating a button that opens a custom form screen with fields mapped to my Consumption table. Right now, Glide will not let me select a “Custom” source once a table has been chosen, and the “Show Form Screen” action only allows me to open the default auto-generated form. I need a completely blank form screen that I can design manually, but I cannot find a way to create it. The app keeps forcing a data source, and the action list never shows a true “New screen” option.

Is there a correct method to create a user-designed form screen from a button inside a tab that already has a data source? Or does the tab need to be set up differently so the button can open a free-design form screen? Any guidance would be appreciated.

The correct method to do here is choosing your Consumption table as the destination table in the form, and delete the default entries so you can design it on your own.

Glide just makes a best guess every time you create a new form, those entries are deletable.
