Solved: How to find the form to edit? - Page 2

In the emulator, the bottom of the screen shows the view name and the data table/slice for that view.

In this view, shown, it simply says FORM. Normally, you can click on the name and it will open the form or the table/slice referenced.

I can’t find it anywhere. In this case, I click on a record in a deck view based on the slice shown and it opens this form. I need to attach an action to this form but can’t since I can’t find it. Where can I find it? Thanks.

To explain what’s happening here:
When you make a change to any view in the editor, the emulator automatically switches to the view being changed, so you can see the changes in real-time (for the most part).

For Detail views, it automatically picks the very first record of the table/slice to show, for Form views it automatically picks the form for a new record to show. So since you just made a Form view for a ADD-not-allowed slice, and the Emulator is showing a Form view for adding a new record, you see the error.

It doesn’t really mean anything, since that slice doesn’t allow adds, the user would never be able to open the form as the emulator is currently showing it. You can still create the form, and if it is the only form for that slice, then it will be the form that opens when you click the edit button.
