On every board page, there’s an “+ Add item” button, and I’d really love to be able to configure that button to use the custom form we created, or to be hidden entirely.
We’ve built a form that collects the required information to create a new item and also has a cascade reacton adding items to 3 other boards.
The “+ Add item” button keeps leading users astray. They click it, and get overwhelmed by the number of columns to complete. Or they don’t notice the extra columns that are scrolled off the page. They end up confused, and we end up with invalid, incomplete, or duplicate records in the board.
The Form view gives me exactly what I need to guide users to provide the right info… but this “+ Add item” button is a bad influence we can’t chase away.
Is there a way to make the “+Add item” button redirect to our custom form view? Or to hide it entirely? I’m even open to dirty CSS hack workarounds, if that’s a thing you can do with Monday.
I can’t change the permissions because these board members need to be able to use the form which ultimately means they need ability to creating a new board item.
Is there any way I can redirect the user to use our custom form instead of using a Monday.com auto created form like the one you’ve mentioned above? I can’t find a link to customize the form I’d like them to use.
Our form is a custom app we’ve created to satisfy our business needs. With your solution in mind, the best I could do was this:
This is a form in the style that you suggested with all fields hidden and a link to the form we’d like customers to use. In addition to this, I noticed that the “+ Add item” button is still at the bottom of every group. Does Monday have any plans to allow board owners the option to remove this field from boards?
