SECOND VITRUAL COLUMN

NO EDIT BUTTON

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Edit buttons never show in Forms. And your last screen shot looks like a Table view, not a Form.

The occurrence of the Add button below an inline table view is controlled by the update access to the data table or slice shown in the inline table. To remove the Add button, display the inline table based on a read-only slice.

The only way to accomplish what you want: Create a read-only slice of the child table. All other settings of the slice should be left at their defaults. Add a new virtual column to the parent table with an App formula expression of [Related childs], replacing Related childs with the name of the existing Related … column that refers to the child table.

Maybe you just need to define a new Detail and/or Form views for the new Slice? Or set a Row Select behavior to navigate to the Detail/Form view of the base Table.

I dont think there is no workaround to achieve your goal. On the form view, you only have control to show/hide the new action (add row), just toggle on or offf, but not able to dynamically control on/off because of how add new row to child table resides.

We normaly not to let the user to add the child record from form view from the parent, but we let them do from detail view of the parent. Then you have full control over this action.
