Hi.
I have a spreadsheet with only 4 tasks / actions, they are unique, they will not change or be added any. Actions / tasks are; Rest, Availability, Driving, Other.
In the app, in a Deck view, I want to click on a task to record the start time of that task in a related table
This is my first App. I’ve done a lot of research but I’m lost. I found interesting things but without reaching a conclusion.
So, how can I:
Screen capture of actions / tasks:

In the deck view, you will need to set the ‘Row Selected’ action to the action you have created:
This action could be set up in a few ways, depending on what you are trying to accomplish:
Hopefully this helps!

Thank you @Jonathon , you gave me important tips.
I’ve already achieved something but it needs fine tuning. I created two Actions that work well apart but I can’t get them to work together, in batch or grouped!
I did it like this:
• In the Actions table, I created the Status field.
• I created an Action (with the name New record) to create a new record in the Base table with the value in the Action field of the first table (Actions); I assigned this action in the Actions View, under “Row Selected”. When clicking on the desired Action (task), it does not open the Detail view and creates the record correctly - see figure 1.
• I created a second Action to put the text “In” in the Status field of the first table (Actions / tasks) and I named it Set Status In, it works well.
Here’s what doesn’t work:
• I created an Action called New task, grouped with the 2 previous Actions - see figure 2.
• I put this Action grouped in the Deck view and it doesn’t work. - see fig 3.
Action Name | Works on the table
1. New registration > Base - new registration
2. Set Status in > Actions - set Status, with the value "In".
3. New task Groups the previous 2 Actions, triggered with a click in Actions view - figure 3
What should I modify?
I’m not sure why that wouldn’t be working, if the ‘Set Status In’ and ‘New record’ actions work individually. Some things to try:
I will offer another possible route to achieving your desired behaviour:
You may consider having your ‘Row Selected’ action be a LINKTOFORM(), and then within this form specifying an ONSAVE event to perform the ‘Set Status In’ function.
That´s it @Jonathon, I found the error.
I had a condition (in BEHAVIOR > Only if this condition is true = [Status] = “In” ) in the wrong action. It was in the grouped action when it should be in the new Action record.
Thank you very much. Big help.
