Remove Add Button

[tvinci]

Hello AppSheet, how do I remove the add button circled in red? I already have a switch statement for that table so I can’t add another one. Is there a way to have two switch statements? I tried putting two switch statements into an AND() expression but that returned an error.

Hey Tiffany.

That add button is actually the same plus button you’ll see when you hit the “View” button (or any other aggregate view [table, deck, gallery, etc.]).

You control that with the “Add” action for that table in the Behavior>Actions section of the editor:

You can hide it all together, like I show in the clip above, or you can add a condition to the action to only show it based on criteria.

Yay this worked beautifully! Thank you!

@MultiTech Dear, 

If the Add button is removed with the intention of removing it from the inline view of Related records in parent table. Does it removes the " +" in child table also?

What to do if I want to remove from the inline view alone ?

When inside the inline view itself, looking at just the table of records, the add button loses the context of the record you were looking at in the detail view - and in so it looses the ability to show/hide based on any specifics for that record.

But you can base the condition for this action, in this context, with other formulas that might be a bit more universal 

• IN(Index(Current_User[User_Role], 1), LIST("Admin", "Dev"))

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For more nuance, you can always make use of the actual view names themselves

• Context("View") = "YOUR_VIEW_HERE"
• in(Context("View"),  list("YOUR_VIEW_HERE"))
• not(in(Context("View"),  list("YOUR_VIEW_HERE", "Another_View")))

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a video showing how to take over that button with more nuance:
