Slice not appearing in "For a record of this table" dropdown for new Action

Hello, I have a problem where my slice is not showing up in the “For a record of this table” dropdown list when I try to create a new Action. The source table appears in the list, but the slice based on it does not. I have already tried every possible solution, but nothing has worked: 1. **Slice Update Mode:** Confirmed the slice is set to “Updates” (not “Read-Only”). 2. **Table Update Mode:** Confirmed the source table is also set to “Updates” or “All changes”. 3. **Table Key:** Confirmed the source table has a Key column. 4. **Browser Refresh:** I have hard-refreshed the browser multiple times. 5. **New Test Slice:** I created a brand new slice with a simple `TRUE` condition. This new slice also does not appear. 6. **Copied the App:** I copied the entire app, but the problem persists in the new copy. 7. **Recreated the Table:** I created a new worksheet in my Google Sheet, copied all the data, added it as a completely new table in AppSheet, and created a new slice from this new table. Even this slice does not appear. At this point, I believe this might be a bug. Could anyone please advise? Thank you.

Actions are attached to tables only, not slices.

Also if you wish certain actions to appear for certain slices and views based on those slices, you could use the setting under the slices pane to select the actions for a particular slice.

Hey there! To tackle any issues with the action button, you might want to start by checking the following. If anyone feels something is missing from the list, please let me know.

  1. Action Position
  2. Action Behavior
  3. Slice Action: Auto or you should add that action.
  4. Views connected to that Slice: Actions, if it’s set to automatic.
  5. The table update mode is configured to: Add and Update. Certain actions require the necessary add and update permissions, depending on the specific task being executed.

If you feel like you’ve done it, you can ask for appsheet support.
