Hi, I have a tab that I want available in a custom action (goto tab x), but I don’t want that tab to appear in the menu or in the available tabs at the bottom. How can I achieve this? When I dim the tab using the little “eye”, I can click on the tab and see its contents, but it no longer shows up in the “goto tab n” custom action. Seems that should be one of the abilities native to Glide. ---

You’ll need to use the Show New Screen option instead of Go To Tab. ---

Thank you. It’s not immediately obvious, but as you create the new screen, the settings “stick” as a screen w/o a tab attached. Of course, sharing of custom actions in this new screen with another screen that _is_ a tab is still not a feature within Glide (at least not that I can see). ---
