Next and Back Button for Records in a Read-Only Grid

So I have a read-only grid displayed on a site through an interface. The summary is also displayed through an interface, and the summary of a record is pictured below.

What I want to do is add a button, going to the next or previous record so that the user doesn't have to click the home button in the top-left.

I found this thread but wasn't sure how to apply it to my situation (not completely sure how to apply a!query):

    Did you read the answers I provided in the therad you linked?  What exactly are you not able to figure out?  FWIW the answers I'd give for this question now are no different from what I answered there, except for adjusting as needed for data sourced via Synced Records instead of Query Entity.

  • Yes I did, I don't understand where to put the a!queryEntity in relation to the button(s), and also how to create a datastore for the entity. I am using a record type but I'm not sure where to get the datastore from

    a!queryEntity(
      entity: cons!my_entity,
      query: a!query(
        pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
          startIndex: 1,
          batchSize: 1,
          sort: a!sortInfo(
            field: "primaryKey", 
            ascending: if(ri!fetchingPrevious, false(), true())
          )
        ),
        filter: a!queryFilter(
          field: "primaryKey",
          operator: if(ri!fetchingPrevious, "<", ">"),
          value: ri!currentPrimaryKey
        )
      )
    ).data.primaryKey

  • I tried to reply with an error I'm getting but it keeps being flagged as spam. I'm getting a CastInvalid error when trying to merge the side-column cards with my summary interface. I have a date data type in my record and this is the error I'm getting

    "Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!dateField [line 193]: Could not cast from Record Field to Date. Details: CastInvalidCould not cast from Record Field to Date. Details: CastInvalid"

    I tried to reply with an error I'm getting

    Are you just pasting a bunch of text?  If so, please try with a screenshot snippet and/or using a Code Box instead.  Also may be able to help with the falsely-flagged responses.

  • No I was using the code boxes. Tried something different and got a column error instead;

    That error message indicates you're trying to pass a SectionLayout component as a member of a ColumnsLayout "columns" array.  The sample code you've pasted here doesn't seem to go deep enough to show anything either way.

    Edit to add: thanks to April un-spamming your original reply containing the full code, i can see exactly where and how my prior assumption was correct.  Your "middle column" section layout is not contained in its own a!columnLayout() call, which would be required (check my original code to see how it should be).

  • Here's the entire current code:

    Now the error I'm getting is
