Hello,

I know there are similar use case or questions for this. Basically, what we want is for the user to initially “Add” a data. or initially meaning “New” data.

Then after it gets filled in, disable the “Add” button.

I know, we can used the “key” features but the users are reporting it as bug as the “Add button” was there rather than it being edited directly.

Hey @Iggy_Villanueva, welcome to the community.

Two parts to this:
1. Hide the “Add” action under the inline view
  - You’ll need to hide the system-generated “Add” action
  - Create a replacement action with LinkToForm()
2. Take over the “view event action” for when the record is tapped in the inline table
  - Make this the “Edit” action instead of “Auto”

Oh my, My heartfelt gratitude for this one. I am literally in joy and awe as you created a video specifically for my inquiry.

This truly means a lot to us amateurs, and I am looking more to improve and be active in this community.

Thanks

Disable "Add" but enable edit if row is already filled with entry data
