Table view - On Click to do nothing - Dead Action

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

Hi all,

I have a table view and I want to use it as a spreadsheet by using the QuickEdit (Beta).
This can be toggled on in the UX-YourTableView

The problem encountered was that by clicking a row an action was triggered.
This action can be changed in the UX-YourTableView-Behavior-Event Actions.

There is no option to set that Event Action to do nothing.

The workaround: I created a “Dead Action” that would take me back to the same table view that I was on.

Stick is super simple. Refer to Matt’s tricks, create action, grouped action, but select NIL action,…
