Ok so in my app I have users filling out forms that then save on a list so that they can view the completed form.
I now want people to be able to share that form from the list.
but when i add the share button i am not sure what to put in the “Source” box
currently, i was trying to do Logged in user > then the database i think?
And it just creates an infinite loop.
thoughts on this?
Hi @Nb317, the Share action shares a URL or text value, so the source needs to be a text field, not a relationship path.
If you want to share the full form content as text instead of a link, create a text property called (Share Text) and include in it the form values when the record is created. Then connect the (Share) action to that property.
The infinite loop you are seeing is because you are trying to navigate through relationships instead of pointing directly to a text value.
Happy to help you set up the action if you share more details about your form structure.

thank you so much!!!
I followed these steps and when i test it on the web version i am getting an error:
Object Type not supported for sharing.
Here is everything i did:
Went to database and created a “Text” property
When to the Form and put in a “create” action on the submit button that uses Magic text to take the form fields and create a record for the Share text property in the form
i went to the share button and told it to share the new text property.
then i get the error.
thoughts?
You’re very welcome @Nb317!
The “Object Type not supported for sharing” error is just because the sharing option doesn’t work on the web version of your app (PWA), so once you test it on the native app version (IOS or Android), it should work perfectly.
Let me know if you need any help with it.
