With the additions of ref actions, data change workflows, grouped actions, prefilling forms with linktoform(), ensuring data is updated with timestamps on view actions… If enough details are known about an intent flow we can reduce an entire process to a single button press to launch a form with everything prefilled.

But we still have to press the save button, or some other user interaction, to save and move on.

Feature request: background record creation.

MakeRecord()??? Just like linktoform() but automatically saves itself in the background with no onscreen anything.

As always, thanks for considering. (^_^)

Or… LinkToForm(“Table_Form”, “field”, {Value}, …, “AppLink-#####”, true)

Add a final bit that makes it a background record creation.

@MultiTech_Visions it seems like they’re super close…

This is an old thread but I just found myself wishing for this. It can be done (I think, at least) “using a Webhook and the API to copy newly added records”:

Example: Copying Newly Added Records

Using a Webhook and the API to copy newly added records.

But it would be great if the linktoform process could just happen in the background. Is it still necessary to have some kind of external integration?
