Linked Records: Sticky Add New Button
The Add New button in inline-editable Linked Records grids is now sticky to the grid's footer, so it stays visible no matter how long the linked-record list gets or how the grid is grouped. Service desks adding tickets to a Change Request's linked grid, PMO leads adding deliverables to a Sprint's linked grid, and any workflow using inline Linked Record editing on the Record Page all get a more reliable path to Add New.
Key Highlights
- Always-Visible Add New Button: The + Add New button now anchors to the bottom of the Linked Records grid, staying visible while users scroll through the linked-record list. No more scrolling to the bottom of a long grid to add another record.
- Fixes Group By Blind Spots: When Group By is enabled with a non-editable grouping field, users can now add new records via the sticky footer. Previously this scenario blocked new-record creation entirely.
- Two Ways to Add When Group By Is Editable: When grouping is by an editable field, users choose between adding a new record within a specific group (via the group-scoped add control) or at the outer level (via the sticky footer). Both surfaces coexist cleanly.
- Applies to Record Page and Record Details Widget: The sticky footer renders on both the main Record Page inline-editing surface and inside the Record Details Widget, matching wherever inline editing is enabled.
- Grid Display Format Only: The sticky footer is scoped to Linked Records using the Grid display format with Allow creating new records inline set to True. Non-Grid display formats and read-only Linked Record grids are unchanged.
How It Works
- Open a Linked Record field's settings and confirm Grid display format is selected, with Allow editing records inline and Allow creating new records inline both enabled.
- Open a Record Page (or a Record Details Widget) where that Linked Record renders as a Grid.
- Scroll through the linked-record list. The + Add New button stays fixed at the bottom of the grid regardless of scroll position.
- Click Add New. If the grid is grouped by an editable field, the new record is added at the outer level; you can also use the group-scoped add control to add inside a specific group. If the grid is grouped by a non-editable field, the sticky footer is the only add-new surface, but it works.
- Fill in the row values inline. Changes save immediately without needing to save the parent record.
With the sticky footer, inline editing on Linked Records grids behaves the same across every grid state, giving teams a dependable path to Add New whether the grid is short, long, or grouped in any configuration.
