Hide items related to ref_rows

Good afternoon,

When I create a ref_row between two tables, within the UX I do not want to see related items in the dropdown, just the new button. How can I achieve this?

I think I see what youโ€™re asking @Antwain_Jordan1

You want the โ€œNewโ€ button inside the form (for related records that have the Is a part of turned on), but you donโ€™t want to see any of the records - just the new button right?

That full-sized button only appears when the associated inline view is empty - so as soon as records are recorded it becomes the inline view you want to get rid of.

I think - THINK - you might be able to do something like this:

Create a slice of the table that allows adds, but excludes any records, using a condition formula like this:

[RecordID] = โ€œNothingโ€

Since having a record key of โ€œnothingโ€ is very unlikely, this slice will hold NO records but still allow additions.


Then if you copy the Ref_Rows virtual column that already exists, and change the first element of the formula from the name of the root table to the name of the slice you just createdโ€ฆ you might get the functionality youโ€™re wanting.

Iโ€™ve not tested this; this is just what Iโ€™m thinking might work for this.
