Add a new row without passing through a form

Hello everyone,

As you can see in the title I want to add a new row to a table without passing through a form. I tried the action "Data: add a new row to another table using values from this row" but it seems to be a row level action. I mean this action only appears when I am on a row and not when I am on my table view.

Hoping someone can help me.

The only workaround I can think of is to display the action inline to be shown in a table view..

Just curious, do you want to create a new row always having the same data except for its key column? What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You might get more suggestions if you explain your broader objective rather than ask a functional question.

Let me explain myself. I have a first table that we will call t1 and a second table that we will call t2 (I dont have much inspiration today). In t1 I have many rows. Once I move to a row of t1, the detail view appears and it contains an inline view of t2 related to the key of the t1's row. My goal is to be able (in this inline view) to create a t2 row with in the t1 key and to open this row instantly. 

The row contains a lot of quick edit column beautifully arranged in the detail  view of t2.
This detail view is like a formula (people come on it, wright something on a column and then quit).
So it's a lot more confortable for people using it to don't have a form.

Hoping this will be clear for you, I tried to be the more understandable possible. 

Here is what you might want to try

1. Action on T1 to add a new row using values from this row to T2 with a ref back to T1 ([_THISROW])

2. Action on T1 to go to another view with

LINKTOROW(
 MAXROW("T2", "_RowNumber", [ref to T1] = [_THISROW]),
 "T2_Detail"
)

3. A grouped action to execute 1 & 2
