Fix breadcrumps / app navigation

Feature Requests

I know there are several Threads already that adress different parts/problems of the Breadcrumps.
Since we are getting more and more complaints and confused Users, I’d like to ask again to please fix the breadcrumps/App Navigation.

Those seem to be the current problems:

  1. Back button cannot be displayed without the Page Path (Database → Record X). Please allow to just display a simple “back” button without the need to display the full path.

  2. The Path displays the underlaying Database even though the user came from a different Page. this is super annoying because users can click on the Database and then end up on a hidden page that they shouldn’t see at all. This is understandably causing a lot of confusion. Ideally it would be dynamic, so when I come From Page “Dashboard” and i open a task, the Path is “Dashboard → Task X” not “Task DB → Task X”.
    If it was possible to display the back button without the path, this would be a lot less of an issue btw.

  3. When you click on a linked record in a Table view, the back button is missing in the Record View, leaving users stranded without a Back button but still displaying the faulty Path. It ruins the flow of clicking though the app and doesn’t make any sense.

It would be nice if these things could be adressed soon as navigation is quite critical for using an App smoothly.

This is already in unless I’m misunderstanding. If you navigate yourself whilst in edit view in the way you want to access; you’ll see an option on the right “include backlink”. If you disable the breadcrumb and enable backlink, it will have a “back to x” looping to where you accessed it from.

Oh yes, this is new and nice to see!

Unfortunately it also stopped working again, the breadcrumps are shown again, even though they’re turned off

@darragh I’m also getting this bug as posted by _4N. When enabling “show backlink” with “breadcrumbs” disabled, it is showing the breadcrumbs regardless of the breadcrumb being untoggled.
