Count Related Items (Children) in form view

Lets’s say we have 2 Tables:
Orders - Parent
Items - Child

In the Orders Table, AppSheet automatically creates the column [Related Items].

In the Items table I want to know how many Items are created. So I use this expression:
COUNT([Orders].[Related Items])

This is working. But when I add a new item, this new item is not counted in the form view. I first have to save that new item, then it’s counted.

So my workaround is this:
COUNT(SELECT(Items[ID],AND([Order]=[_THISROW].[Order],[ID]<>[_THISROW].[ID])))+1

This counts all Related Items, except the row I’m in. Then it adds 1.

This is working, but it seems to me that there should be a better way

P.S.: I need this calculation in the form view. Another column needs this for calculation.
