When I add a record via the “+” Button, the child will loose the parent.
What am I missing?

Edit:
Maybe this has to do with the fact, that it is not opening my own map view, but a view called “google-map” like explained here:
[Map View - cannot control Action icons? I hav...](https://community.appsheet.com/t/map-view-cannot-control-action-icons-i-hav/3885) Questions
Map View - cannot control Action icons? I have a map view with location pins. If I click a dot on the map, the bottom third of the iphone screen shows some of the record details, the view name changes to “google-map”, and there are Action icons available. How can I change the columns displayed as well modify what actions show in the bottom third of the screen? Looks like I cannot modify the “google-map” view (i did not create that view)?
Issue 1 - the add button for the map xy view. I have never gotten this to work correctly, as you are also having trouble with it. What I do, is hide those automatic actions, and instead add a action button for the detail view that comes up when you select a pin. So, to add a new pin, you have to click on a current pin, and then choose an action. The action that worked for me was a LINKTOFORM where the xy background is automatically set as the vehicle/parent/etc that you want. This also means that you can never be without a pin to select, I believe I set an initial 50, 50 pin when the image was added.
Issue 2 - disappearing images. I haven’t run into this specifically, but the XY column is picky about it’s background images. I never use a direct image input column for the background, always a URL. I have only found a way to set an uploaded image url from a workflow rule, because it has to be fired after the system writes the key for the row. So I make a url after an image is submitted, use that as the xy background, and then open a view to add/view a pin. I don’t know if this will solve your disappearing background, but it might.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience @Rosemary_Black.
Issue 1 - I will try to use the self made Action as well.
Issue 2 - I also use an URL. You can’t use a direct image input column for the XY Background Image. It has to be a URL. I use this method. By saving the Parent, I set up a forced sync. So it will save the image and the URL will be ready for the XY Background Image.
@Grant_Stead Thank you very much. Indeed my first post seems to be fixed.
But my second post is still a problem. The XY background images disappear. Also when I do a sync.
I’ll take a look at mine and see if I can figure that out. I haven’t had that problem before, but I haven’t allowed adding pins in the dashboard like you did.
@Grant_Stead It’s not just you, none of my background images are displaying right now for xy columns. I don’t know how long it hasn’t been working, but mine aren’t working either. I was going to see if I could help you with your disappearing problem, but I can’t load mine at all now.
The ones I have set up with static URLs aren’t working either, the xy images just aren’t showing at all. I guess I will have to send in a support ticket for this as well.
@Rosemary_Black and @Fabian in talking with Nico the issue that were experiencing is still related to the referencing. Nico thinks he has a good fix and is going to do a peer review, and said he hopes it gets posted next week.
@nico do you mind posting here once the fix has posted. Appreciate you.
