Link to Dashboard View (LinkToRow) from Email not working

Is there a way to open a dashboard view to a specific record from a link?

Current situation:

I am using the following formula to create a link to a specific dashboard view (with interactivity enabled) and record:
CONCATENATE(“https://www.appsheet.com/start/MY_CORRECT_APP_ID”,LINKTOROW([LessonID],“Lessons Dashboard”))

The resulting URL is:
https://www.appsheet.com/start/MY_CORRECT_APP_ID#control=Lessons%20Dashboard&row=58a6446f

The row parameter correctly identifies the [LessonID] key field in each instance.

The link opens the correct view but always to the first row in the underlying table/sheet.

I use LINKTOROW in an action to open this view/dashboard from an action inside the app and correctly opens the dashboard view on the desired record.

Also, using the same formula above with a system generated detail or form view for the same table correctly opens the desired record.

Any insight or advice is appreciated.

Not possible.

Wow! Given your knowledge and activity on the forums, I have no reason to doubt you are correct on this and will abandon my search for a solution. That’s a significant feature limit as dashboard views often provide a much better desktop editing experience.

I suppose I can create a custom landing detail view, no edit option, with an “Open Record” action. That can open the record in the dashboard view and is not too cumbersome a step for the user.

They need an “Accept as Answer with no solution” option. :roll_eyes:
