Adding new row when after looking the detail view

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

I would like to add a new record form the detail view.

I mean when I look the record with “detail view” , I would like to add new record directly.

In my app, it seems only “edit” button is located in the detail view, and no “Add” button nor any other action button.

Is there any way I can add new row from the detail view?

It will be OK for me to navigate “starting view” or any other view form the detail view.

I would NOT touch the “footer menu” (sorry, I don’t know this name exactly).

Try below.

Create an action with the following settings. Adapt the B_Form and B_Detail to your own environment.

Open your form normally and capture the view name from under the app preview in the editor. You should find something like:
View: myTable_Form | Table: myTable

Then from Behavior, go to myTable and add a new Action with these settings:

  • App: Go to another view within this app
  • Target: LINKTOVIEW(myTable_Form)

Thank you for your prompt action!

I could make it!

Thanks your advice.

In the detail view, it seems impossible to edit the Behavior (Event action).

I will follow @TeeSee1 advice.

Joseph is just explaining how to find the name of the view.

Thanks @Joseph_Seddik for you follow-up!

@TeeSee1 No my friend, it is not a followup; I cannot claim a favor that is not mine.

It is thanks to this amazing new platform that neither signals when someone else is replying nor pushes updates to open post pages that I didn’t see your reply till the Yokuinin has replied :grinning_face: oh I miss Discourse.

Now really, thanks to you my friend for a better reply containing a screenshot that I was too lazy to do. Also, including CONTEXT() :slightly_smiling_face:
