Adding 1 to a field through interface button?


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

Seems like it should be relatively simple, all I want to do is use a button from an interface to add 1 to a number field in my table

I'm using the button linked to an automation and here's what it looks like:

And this is using a dynamic update:

But here's what happens when I test this:

So I guess it's the wrong format, and I can't find any documentation on formatting for this. Seems like I can't even add two fields together.

I'm afraid you'll need a formula field specifically for this, with the formula being `{Calls} + 1`, and you'd get your automation to paste the value of that formula field into the "Calls" field
