Hello I have an issue with form container: this form need to take - a quantity (needed) - an observation (non essentiel can be blank) when i fill the entry for the quantity , the submission button for the form is active , so it’s ok. Now i need to check the quantity to change the price according to my database. I change the link of the quantity from the form container to user profil so i can check the quantity and control the price depending of my database in real time and update the price when i change the quantity: it’s working well !!. But now i only have the observation linked directly to the form container. All informations i need are already filled in the form container / general But the button to submit don’t show because i need to have a least 1 entry with a data in the layout ! it will be annoyning to make a space caracter by default for the observation entry just to have the submit button ! The probleme here : if i use the default value for an entry to automatically fill it with my user profil, the information isn’t updating in the layout , but if it isn’t an entry, the data is updating What can i do to simply make the submit appear when i filled data in my user profil ? ---

You might be better off creating this is a “New” screen. You can use the columns that you are using in the user table and once everything is done they can Submit using a button you created. The action would be to do an “Add Row” to your actual table. ---

So you’re filling the form with an entry to a quantity field. > [@Kriss\_Kriss06](#): > > Now i need to check the quantity to change the price according to my database. I guess I don’t get this part. What are you checking here? ---

hello thanks to take intersest to my problem: about making a new screen: If the only data from the form is the observation entry and if this entry is blank, will the submit button be available ? about the checking: i have price based by quantity: 1 item A = 1$ base price 10 item A = 0.9$ base price (10% discount) The only means i found to make the price changed in the layer when the customer put the quantity is to use the user profile, so i need to make the quantity stored into the user profile instead of the custom form, then i put the data from user profile directly in the quantity form when i submit. I ended in using a space in the observation field so i always have the button available and a check to avoid the case when the quantity is 0 … I “resolve” the problem but if someone has a better idea i’d like to see it thanks
