Iโve enabled โAdvance forms automaticallyโ.
In my form the first column is a Barcode Scanner.
I have a LINKTOFORM() Action to open this form.
When I fire the action via a button, the Scanner opens automatically.
When I set the same action to the Form Saved Event, the Scanner does not open automatically.
Iโm not able to use โAuto re-openโ in the form, because I have to use a condition in the LINKTOFORM() Action to tell AppSheet how often the form should reopen.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Advance forms automatically is now working when you use the form saved event action.

So maybe they can add your Accounts as well. @James_McFarlane @OliverDahl @Snoopy
Hi @James_McFarlane Did you find any solution?
Hi @Fabian,
I tried different actions but in the end did not get desired result sent email to support they looked at my app but he said it had to be escalated to the development team. Never got answer, in the end NOPE.
So you didnโt get an answer? Or you did, and it was no?
Me, too. The last response was from @Aleksi on 4th Maj saying:
Thanks Fabian, I will assign this to our developers for debugging.
Iโll see if I can poke someone.
This sounds like a bug. Please contact support@appsheet.com for help.
I did not get an answer.
Here is the answer from @Adam
Auto advance forms was meant to be a small usability optimization to reduce the number of clicks for the end user filling out a form. I donโt think we can guarantee it will always work to enable these complex scenarios involving its intersection with other behaviors. But if we can reproduce the problem easily and thereโs an obvious solution, we can try to address it.
I have a similar problem right now. I want to capture a number of records until a certain condition is met.
Would it not just be possible to replace the current auto re-open toggle switch option in a form view by a conditional expression ?
Here is a workaround:
Thanks for the tip, Fabian. Problem solved โฆ
Hi!
I am just wondering if it is any updates on the โadvanced forms automaticallyโ feature? Even though it is a โsmall usability optimizationโ, we need it to enable some functionallity our customers need. And not being able to know when it will work and when it wont, makes it useless for us. Do you plan to test more secenarios and fix problems? Or should we avoid using it? Maybe the function could be placed under โPreview new featuresโ, since it is not yet โstableโ?
It is not working for us when opening a form through an form-saved action. Thanks for helping!

Hmm, I am running into the same problem where the focus is not on the only editable field after a barcode scan. My event action is Add, are you saying I have to change it?
Thanks
