If you want to create a history of your editings:

  • Set the prominence (Only if this condition is true) of table’s System Edit action to FALSE
  • Create a new Action, set it’s diplay to Overlay with a behavior of

App: Copy this row and edit the copy

Hi @LeventK ,
What i need is, copy the row and then save it to another table
(not in the same table)

Yes, you need a reference action- check this sample app -

Hi @LeventK & @Bellave_Jayaram ,
Thank you for your reponse, i believe i found the solution, the problems why the data keep replacing, because of the same key provided, so the appshet is automatically replacing them. So the solution is, i make a new key when the action button clicked
