Default action for table rows works different than custom actions

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

On PC Screen a click on a table row opens the details view on the right side. A click on the next one instantly shows the other details view.

But with a custom action like open the details view of another slice of the same table, I have to close the old details view, otherwise the next details view does not open atomaticaly.

Is there a workaround for this?

Hi Stefanasks,

May I see your custom action expression?

Try this: If you must use a custom action button, ensure your formula isn’t accidentally forcing a “fresh” app load. If you are using LINKTOVIEW("ViewName"), try using LINKTOROW([ID], "ViewName").

Sometimes, AppSheet treats LINKTOROW as a “data context change” rather than a “navigation change,” which can help keep the split-screen pane active.

Let me know if this solution worked for you!
