Creating a related record within a record

Really easy one. Ive seen how I can display related records on Softr details page by using display conditions and the detail page. Then setting the action on that record.

BUT

What if I am in a record (or in a list of records) and I want a button that creates a record related to that first one it clicks within. Is that possible? I can do it in Airtable and Mini Extensions keen to see if there is a way with Softr

Hi @Deekay,

Thanks for sharing your use case. You can add a form block on the list details page and include a hidden field that will grab the URL parameter or any of the current record parameters so that you can identify which record the new record created by the form submission is related to.

For more details on hidden fields, please check this article.

For a similar use case with a similar approach, please check this page.
