Hello friends, as the title says, if you use CONTEXT(“View”) it will always return the name of the form view for the parent record even when inside the form view of a child record accesed from the parent record itself.
That’s consistent with the view that is seen in the app preview window, as it will always display the name of the form view of the parent table, no matter if you’re adding a new child record or anything else the nested form functionality allows, is this the intended behaviour?
I’ve seen only one post asking this question, and it received no replies.
It’s kind of a problem because Context(“View”) is a great tool for managing the name of the buttons inside the forms as well as the columns themselves, and if it doesn’t work when accessing the same form just from a different source I feel that’s like AppSheet saying that using nested forms is inferior to using “regular” forms, and I don’t think that’s what they intended.
