Hi there,
I’m trying to add a standalone button to a blank page that opens a specific form—for example, the form used to create a new record in my “Properties” collection.
On my “Properties” data page, I have a button labeled “Add New Property”, and when clicked, it opens the proper form to input new property information. I’d like to replicate that exact functionality on a custom blank page—but without displaying any list or data table.
Here’s the issue:
When I add an action button to the blank page and configure it using “Actions” → “Create a New Record”, under the “Create what record?” dropdown, it doesn’t give me the option to select the “Properties” collection. Instead, it only shows default or unrelated options.
I tried adding a container first, hoping that might let me select the correct data source before placing the button—but that didn’t help either.
As a workaround, I added a list section to the blank page, which does allow me to choose the Properties collection, and that displays the “Add New Property” button—but it also forces me to show a list of data, which I don’t want. I only need the button by itself.
Is there a way to:
Add a standalone “create record” button on a blank/custom page,
And link it to a specific collection form (like “Properties”)
—without having to display a data list or use a full data page?
I’ve attached a screenshot of what I’m seeing in the “Create what record?” options in case that helps.
Any advice or workaround would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
(No data option)
