Hello all,

 

Basically I have a form to link working units and owners:

 

For some reason the “+” button on the Owner side is displaying “Add unit” and I can’t figure out how to change it to something more accurate (Add robot). Do I need to rebuild the table and change the name of how I will call each record?

 

Secondly, I just noticed (probably I did it in the past but I forgot to follow it up) that the visibility of the fields is limited once I applied a filter

In other words, with this setup…

 

 

As soon as I enter parameters on the “filter”, I see “0 visible fields” on the fields option. That limits the visibility to end user when is trying to attach/link an option after clicking in the button, no idea if there is a workaround to avoid this behavior.

The filter contains a couple of rules to limit the options displayed based on the “current’s user email” which is strictly needed.

 

As an example, in the opposite side… if I remove the filters...

 

It seems to be by design, but, any alternative around this?

Hey ​@luismi,

Re: Your second issue. That is strange to be honest. Do you mean that if you set a filter on the linked record field, then your fields to be shown under appearance defaults to 0, but if you do not apply any filters you can choose any amount of fields to show?

 If I’m following correctly, that doesn’t seem to happen on my end. - see image below.

 


If you could send further context on this matter that would be great!

Just to add to ​@Mike_AutomaticN response, if you are not finding a suitable option for your record name in the predefined list, consider checking out Fillout. It completely allows you to customize your form, including editing the button text exactly as you want.

Sure.

The filter contains 3 conditions

“Group1 Auth email” contains “current’s user email”

or “Group2 Auth email” contains “current’s user email”

or “Created by” is “current’s user email”

 

Group1 and group2 are imported/linked from another table.

Created by is local to the current table.

 

With any of those conditions, just one, I hit the scenario described initially.

However, if I put a filter based on any local filed like… “robot type” is not empty, then, the fields option is still available. It seems it is related to “current’s user email” option?
