Remove actions in system-generated views

[koviac]

Hello colleagues:
I am making an inventory app and I have:
entries_header table, entries_detail, exits_header table, exits_detail, the detail tables have the products table related by product_ID.
In the products view, the entries_detail and exits_detail are shown separately, due to the relationships, each detail view shows Expand and Add Actions, if I click on Add it adds a line without its corresponding relationship with the header.
The problem is:
I want to remove these actions so that the user can only enter exit or entry details from the main entries and exits form.

Gracias!!

Hello @koviac , you will need a Slices table. In the Slice Action you can remove the action button. Once you have a slice table, you can use REF_ROWS on the parent table referencing the slice you’ve created, without needing an action.

You could create a slice on the job_items table that doesn’t allow adds, then add a new virtual column to the jobs table with an App formula of [Related job_items], type List, base type of Ref, and referenced table of the slice.
