Update collection with form after selecting record from drop down

[Hoov]

Hi, Noob here.

I have looked around the forum for solutions and have found similar problems but not exactly what mine is.

I am working on web-app, and am developing the admin side of things. The goal for this part is for the admin to be able to select a record (a business) from a collection in a drop down menu. Then once the right one is selected, the field data is populated in a form below that is also connected to the collection. Then if changes are made, the admin can click a button to update

What’s not working…

1. When I select the record from the dropdown, nothing happens in the form and I’m not sure what to change in the drop down options as there’s not much other than what collection it is and what placeholder text. No sure what i need to do to pass the data to the form
2. In the form, there’s only the Create new record option, no update record option
   
   
   
   
   

Appreciate any help as I’ve been playing around and looking for info for awhile now. !

Welcome to the community @Hoov!

You don’t see update business because there’s no current business data on the screen. So for this you need to use a custom form or after selecting from the dropdown, link to another screen but you need to make the button a list and filter it to pass the selected business data.

Using a custom form is easy because only several inputs and a button, for the default values you can populate data from the selected business dropdown. Check this video for building a custom form. : New Place 2.mp4 - Google Drive

Let me know if you couldn’t figure it out!

Thanks, I ended up using a button to new screen with list.
