Action buttons are great, but our users don’t always know they are there, because you have to hover over them in order to see them. I understand why. It would be awesome if there was some way to get the functionality of an action button, that would be always visible. Use case is: creating a link from one record to the “create” form of a linked record, with prefilled information. You can do that with record buttons, but I want to have a more definitive button. In order to do so, I have to create a formula field in that table, that accepts the noloco ID as the prefill, and then use that field as the button link. It works, its just a workaround. Potential solution would be to conditionally choose the visibility of the button, ie “on hover” or “always” ---

Second this; there are some occasions where this would be super helpful for me ---

LOVE this. I had a request at one point to have a button displayed in a table’s column (thankfully Noloco allows for this) but the issue is that those buttons are pretty much just URL-based. They aren’t action buttons fundamentally. So this would be super helpful! ---

Just come across the need for this again. It’s when I have a single record on a page, and want the user to be able to add a related record. So adding my vote to this for a second time! ---

If you only have a single record, would you not just use an on-page action button, or a details block? Usually when this is required it’s a sign that something else isn’t optimal My question is, is there a direct link from the parent to this record, or can there be multiple linked records? ---

Just commenting on my specific use-case, but say you had line items related to an invoice. Being able to toggle action buttons **for records** to be always visible would allow for my users to see that they can duplicate, add, or remove a line item.
