Create button to go to related record?

[Maria_Korolov]

Okay, if I pull the URL from the view I’m looking at, and save the URL into a variable field, then I can create a button that goes to that URL.

It works, but it asks me if I’m sure I want to go to a link in the same Coda document, then it opens a new tab for that view, then closes the original view.

So there’s a couple of extra, and unnecessary, steps there, but the functionality basically works.

Now all I have to do is generate the URL of a view programmatically… and I see that there’s a way to do that:

Pop open a row with a button

Right now, you can’t open a row with a button. You can either click the “Expand row” icon on the far left of the row, or you can press option + space on the keyboard. Sometimes, though, it might be useful to open a row when you click a button, especially if you’re pairing it with other buttons in order to perform simultaneous actions. Until we add that to the product, here’s a (albeit hacky) way to open a row with a button: Step 1: pull in the full URL of a popped-open row. Make sure to put it…

Thanks,
