How to enable preselected value from a detail view in form?

Hello everyone,
My app is constantly growing. As it contains a table with several locations it was automatically recognized by AppSheet as a app with Map feature - which is OK.
Additionally to the map in second view - there’s a list of all locations with their selected data organised by name. Also automatically (system feature) a detail page was attached whenever any entry on the list is selected.
And here starts my struggle.
I added the possibility to RESERVE / REPORT (additional views) a selected point.
Unfortunately those views are basing on the original data from spreadsheet and I need manually select the desired point from the list again (even though I’m already in the detail page).

Is there a way to have a reference coming from detail (generated by system) page to my form where the name of the selected point will be available without the necessity of searching it once again?

I’ll be glad for all suggestions and potential solutions. If anyone would like to take a look into the app - just let me know.

You need to create an action and attach it to the row, by choosing the action type as:

Data: set the values of some columns in this row
