grid edit new add record button

I, too, am seeing it, along with a field link name that shouldn't be there, and a summary. I think this is a bug of some sort; will plop your info and mine into a bug report.

It looks like a new feature and not a bug to me.  My guess is the thinking is that the user may be in Grid mode on a Form or a Report and decide to want to add a record using a full size Add record form and not add using Grid Edit which can be cramped if there is a lot of data entry involved.  

There is no way to disable it!  The only item in the form right there is the grid edit table. I don't want an "Add whatever" button that I can't customize. And the summary/link off to the right isn't part of anything I want, either. See edited comment above.

OK, actually now I see their logic.  That button simply positions the cursor to the next unused line on the grid edit form.  It does not take you to an Add Record form.  So, for example if there were 20 (or perhaps 200  or 2,000 entries) you would not need to scroll down to find the first unused line.

Hey folks,
Check out this screenshot from the version of Quick Base we released in december:

If you look in the light blue bar, across the top of the grid edit, you'll notice there's some mostly unstyled text which says "New Record". We just restyled that link into a button to make it more prominent. 

We didn't want to make changes to functionality in this release, so we didn't add further customization options about this link (now button). If it's still an issue over time, we'll look into making some adjustments. 

There've been a few changes we made to try and make functions more prominent, and this seems to be the most common one. 

The button will be hidden if the user doesn't have permission to add a new record to the child table.

If you can make an option within "customize this form" to show or hide that entire header portion, that would be appreciated.   I prefer to have my records setup with as tight a view as possible to view as much information as i can on the screen.

Additionally, having new UI features be optional now and when developing in the future, would be much an appreciated change, especially by the silent among us that don't complain or ask for anything until there is a change.

I created this on User Voice yesterday. 

Before seeing this I created another user voice about a week after. haha.
