Magic Button - Open form to specific tab?
Hello. Is it possible via magic button to open a form to a specific tab therein (i.e. form tab, not browser tab)? Thanks!
Forum Discussion
I set this up how you described and all it does is move the tab page up, if you are on that tab. It does not show another tab.
The problem I'm having is when using a tablet (with desktop site on) the tabs on my form are way too long. My users aren't savvy enough to know that they have to click on the tiny black arrow to make the tabs scroll right just a couple at a time. This gets annoying, to say the least, to have to explain this over and over, that yes, you have to keep tapping on the tiny arrow until you see the tab you want. And frankly, it's annoying to have to tap on the tiny arrow anyway.
I was intrigued by your solution and thought that having an array of magic buttons to tap on would work, only to find out that it doesn't. What I want seems simple in theory; tap on a button to display a specific tab. Is there anything you can suggest that corrects your initial solution?

Qrew LegendA few years ago there was fairly intense discussion on this forum about whether it was possible to make a button to go to a particular tab.
Nobody was able to crack that nut. I think it would take some enhancements on the QuickBase side in order to allow us to specify a tab.
