View and New buttons control

[sorin_mihai]

Hy,

Quick question:
I have a Projects view, and when clicking a project, there is a view with project details and a list of Tasks (“treburi”) and at the bottom of this list of Tasks, there are these two buttons - View and New.

Untitled-1|540x500

Where are these buttons controlled from and how did they get there?
I can’t find them in behavior.

Can I change their name? The new button goes to add a new task, which is great because it autofills the name of the project, but how can I change the order of the questions it asks? I already have a form made for new tasks and I would like to have this form be just like the other one but keep this autofill for the project name.

Thanks,
Sorin!

These are the buttons for inline view under the detail view of any particular record. You can change their names via UX >> Localize and you can use expressions.

For the Form UX that’s fired with clicking the New button is a system generated form for that table. Provided you create a REF type Form UX for that same table, AppSheet will automatically replace it.

Great, I found the way to change the name from Localize, although, that is more like a translate option as it changes the name for the New button, anywhere it will appear.
Are there expressions to say:
if the current view is called “X” then make the button name “new2”?

But how can I make the View button go away completely? It takes me to view the list of tasks which I am already viewing … Shouldn’t these buttons exist in Behavior tab too?

You can use CONTEXT("View) and CONTEXT(“ViewType”) expression to control them.

Expressions to modify text, create unique IDs, and work with location.

Perfect, that solves the naming part.
Thank you
