Clickable button inside view form

[Naps]

Hi,

I have a form that by default is in view mode. However while the form is in view mode I want a button that is clickable so a user can go to a details screen. For example a user can select a planned service from a gallery, this will show a form in view mode with all the details with a button for the location that links to the location screen showing details particular to that location.

I added a button to the data card in my form but despite setting displaymode.edit onselect does not work until I change the form to displaymode.edit.  Displaymode for the button isn't inheriting its displaymode from the form so I'm not sure why its not working.

Is there a way to have a button that has displaymode.edit inside a form that is set to displaymode.view?

Hi @Naps ,

Other than putting the button "on top" of the form, unfortunately this is one of the annoying issues with View mode in Forms.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Unfortunately I came to the same conclusion. I don't understand why this is not possible (the option is even there in the menu...). Without clickable objects in a view form it is really hard to make an app that can drill down on data in a sensible way.

For now I've decided to set displaymode.edit.
