Removing the Edit form button from user but keeping the Action button for user

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

The timesheet table has add and edit permissions and they need that for the automation action to make edits.

What I need to do is not allow the user to see the primary edit button to columns for Check In Time or check out time.

They only need to be able to use the checkout action button to logout.

How do I make these columns read only for the user but keep the action button ‘

Every time I change the permissions I loose both the Primary Edit button and the action button

Two solutions.

Go to your Actions and look for the “Edit” one under your “TimeCard” table

1) Use “Hide” as Position

2) Set condition to “false”

A user interface section titled "Behavior" includes options for a conditional action input field and a toggle switch for confirmation. (Captioned by AI)
