Hi @kishorchika 

Insert

  • Creates a new record in the database.

  • After saving, the system returns you to the list view (not the record you just created).

  • Used when you want to quickly add a new record and then move back to the list.

 Insert and Stay

  • Also creates a new record in the database.

  • After saving, it keeps you on the same record form.

  • Useful if you want to continue working on the newly created record (e.g., add more details or related information).

 Update

  • Saves changes to an existing record.

  • No new record is created - it simply updates the current record.

  • After saving, the system usually takes you back to the list view (though behavior can depend on configuration).
