Hi @Adolfo_Enrique_Lobos

For a detail view, you will need to set this directly on the action settings.

HI @Aurelien . obviously I’m doing something wrong … I did what you suggested, but I can’t see the action to select.

I need this action to run automatically, after a modification is made.

Could you help me understand if it is correct to do it this way?

Thank you!

I see you are looking to get it on a slice.
Make sure the action you are looking for is a part of the slice actions. (DATA/Slices)

But about “run automatically”, that won’t work.
There are two possibilities:

  1. use a bot
  2. set action on “event action” attached to a form view

On a detail view such as the one you are displaying, you will need a bot.

yeah I’m trying to get it from a slice, the action is part of the slice …

It is currently in a boot, but the problem I have is that the boot only works when the app is online, this application works in places where eventually there is no internet …

I need to find a solution asap, but I don’t know which one!

Thank you @Aurelien for your colaboration

Yes, internet connection is the limit with bots.

My suggestion, but it all depends on your purpose then:
You may want to use a linktorow() or linktoform() action in order to display a form to your users. From what I see you are using quick edit columns, you want to prefer using form instead.
This way, when the form is saved that will trigger the “event action”.

Ok, could you guide me to use LINKTOROW or LINKTOFORM ?

Ok, thank you very much, what I can’t understand is how I should apply it, will you have a concrete example where I can observe its implementation?

From already thank you very much!

Searching the community should give you plenty.
