Can anyone give me a definitive answer to this question?

I have a list Interface with 3 levels of heirarchy - Apiary, Hive, Inspection

This is for beekeeping. An apiary is a collection of Hives and Hives are inspected frequently.

On desktop in a browser (Safari) I can click into the Apiary Details and scroll down to the list of Hives and add a new one.

Still on desktop, when I expand the Apiary the interface shows its Hives as expected with an ‘+Add Record’ (why can’t I call them Hives?) button, and when I expand a Hive I can see the inspections as expected and at the bottom of the list of inspections is a ‘+ Add Inspection’. All good. Makes sense.

But none of those things are available in mobile (iOS 18.3.2, iPhone 12 Pro)

I can open an item at any level and edit that item but I can’t add new hives or inspections. Looks like this:

Am I missing something? This is a key feature for me and being able to do this in mobile is really why I’m building this app.

I read an announcement from a year ago that interfaces were supposed to work seamlessly on Mobile and I saw a thread about exactly this where the questioner says it works now. Is this a paid feature? It seems like such a fundamental capability. What good is a Mobile app if it’s read only? Data collection during the inspection is essential.

Hey ​@daveaphillybeekeeper!

 

If that is shown in desmoto but not on mobile it is probably due to the lack of the feature on mobile (probably regardless of the anouncement unfortunately). 
 

You might want to submit this as a feature request using this form

As a work around, you might want to have a new field shown on the interface with a url to a form for creating these records? You could even have it prefilled

How does this look?  And I’ve set it up here for you to check out!

You could also add records directly from the Interface without clicking into the Hive by turning on ‘Add records via a form’, but then you’d have to select the Hive each time which seems like more work compared to this
