Default Form View Override

[James_Burns]

I'm sure I'm missing something simple but when I create a new form view for a table that new form becomes the default form the app opens for the system add and edit actions. I have an Accounts_Payable table and the system generated an Accounts_Payable_Detail and Accounts_Payable_Form. The Accounts_Payable_Form was the default form until I created a new Accounts_Payable_Credit_Form, which then took over as the default.

Why does this happen and is there a way to prevent it from happening?

Please note the below sentence in the help article.

Could you mention in what way the manually generated form is different from the system generated form and why you would like system generated form to take precedence over the manually generated form. Also any specific purpose you created the manually generated form. These details could help to possibly address the issue you are facing.

I have the same question as @James_Burns 
In my case I want the manually created view to NOT be the default one because I want it to use it as a target from an action in order to allow the user to edit only 1 column, so in this specific view I hide all other columns in the table but I do not want it to be the case when I either create e new entry or click the default edit button in the entry.

Create a slice on the table. Attach the view to that slice. Point the action at this view.

This worked, thanks Steve!
