Add new Row with to other table and update row via form

[djbginns]

Hi i am wondering if there is a way to use the Behavior, " add new row from the data table selected" and upon clicking it can open a form with the transferred data, but can be reviewed before submission? 

for example: Item (Dataset) --> Entry Log Form--> Update (User) --> Save Entry Form

I need a way to update the user in between, this is the only manual entry that is required between the two.

Nope, but you could instead use an action of type App: go to another view in this app with a Target expression that uses LINKTOFORM().

Hi Steve, 

So if it's a card UX and you had a behavior that was opening another view in an app? or would you want to keep it with the create a new row with cell values? , then you could have a condition that would link the information using the linktoform() condition? 

I understand how the Expression is useful, but I'm not sure how I would map it out in my scenario.

Thanks!

My thinking is you would configure the action I described, then attach it to one of the card view's action slots:

The action would have access to the column values of the row from which it's triggered, so you could copy whatever values you want into the new row.

LINKTOFORM() opens a form view to give values to a new row. The new row isn't saved until the user clicks Save within the form view.

I don't see any need to use an action of type Data: add a new row to another table using values from this row. That action immediately saves the new row without giving the user an opportunity to review and possibly change it first.
