If it’s a custom list, add the ✎ icon by dropping the component into the list. If another type of list, enable an ✎ icon with one of the right sections.

When a user clicks the icon, set the click action to New Screen.

Create a new “Form” screen and call it the “Edit Screen”.

Click on the new form on the new screen and set it to ‘edit’ the current list item.

On the form, there is a default “update” action when the form is submitted. Simply set a 2nd click action to go back. This saves the data and returns the user to the previous screen.
