The issue is with the model setup first and maybe the actions you’re using. Putting XML together. One minute.

Go to the model’s advanced tab and uncheck “Load Model data on page load”. You probably also want to check “Create default row if Model has none”.

Not a fan of the “Create default row if Model has none” unless it’s for a page that is exclusively for creating new records. I prefer to always empty model data prior to creating a new record.

Hey Pat. Super newb question but is this a whole new skuidpage or can copy paste this code in a Template?

Whole new skuid page for you to peruse how I would approach it. Create a new page and paste.

I was a newb as well just a few months ago.

Hmm. I don’t think this will work. It’s a consistent problem on all of my pages to create a new record of the same record type. 

Thanks though. It looks like Moshe’s suggestion is working… ish

Give me a ring on Skype if you’d like to review. pat.vachon.77

Found an old skuid blog post that referenced the time before there were multiple actions. I feel like I’ve gone that transition as a user these past couple weeks, a little nervous about using them, didn’t think I needed them, to know going back and redoing entire pages based on using them. It actually took a few reps in the mobile page builder, where things are a little more limited and less intuitive, to realize how helpful multiple actions are. Anyway, Thanks for this code!
