Show a different interface based on a record click

Question

Hi team, 
 
 I have created an interface which looks like below-

so basically there are 3 columns, Suites, Scripts and Cases. 
 In 1st column, I have used a readOnlyGrid where I have shown a record. 
 I have defined a local variable 'local!isSuiteSelected' in the interface expression. Now I want that if someone clicks on a record link then instead of opening a summary dashboard, it should change the value of local variable 'local!isSuiteSelected' to true and it should not open a record summary. How can I achieve this functionality ? 
 
 Below are the code snippets. 
 
 a!localVariables(
 local!isSuiteSelected:false,
 local!isScriptSelected: false,
 a!headerContentLayout(
 header: {
 a!cardLayout(
 contents: {
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 labelPosition: "COLLAPSED",
 value: {
 a!richTextHeader(
 text: {
 a!richTextIcon(icon: "users-cog"),
 " Welcome"
 }
 )
 },
 align: "CENTER"
 )
 },
 height: "AUTO",
 style: "#666666",
 marginBelow: "NONE",
 showBorder: false
 )
 },
 contents: {
 a!sectionLayout(
 label: "",
 contents: {
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: rule!BTUA_TestSuites_Partial_Interface(),
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 /*showWhen: local!isSuiteSelected,*/
 contents: {
 if(
 local!isSuiteSelected,
 rule!BTUA_TestScripts_Partial_Interface(),
 rule!BTUA_ShowText_Expression("Please Select Suite")
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 /*showWhen: local!isScriptSelected,*/
 contents: {
 if(
 local!isScriptSelected,
 rule!BTUA_TestCases_Partial_Interface(),
 rule!BTUA_ShowText_Expression("Please Select Script")
 )
 },
 width: "AUTO"
 )
 }
 )
 }
 )
 }
 )
) 
 
 BTUA_TestSuites_Partial_Interface: 
 a!gridField(
 label: "Suites",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 data: 'recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType',
 columns: {
 a!gridColumn(
 label: "Suite Name",
 sortField: 'recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType.fields.{b36e5404-7689-44f8-bcb3-efc90764cd0e}suitefilename',
 value: fv!row['recordType!{e805a109-fc8e-434b-a28c-4c7b62baa8d4}BTUA_Suites_RecordType.fields.{b36e5404-7689-44f8-bcb3-efc90764cd0e}suitefilename']
 )
 },
 validations: {},
 refreshAfter: "RECORD_ACTION",
 showSearchBox: true,
 showRefreshButton: false
)

In a recent blog post, I covered how data flow in interfaces works. Have a look at this first. If you then have more specific questions, I am happy to support you.

You basically cannot combine a link and a save action. It can be only one of these. If you want to update the variable. you will have to remove the record link. You might be able to find more information in Stefan's blog.

To update the variable's value you have to use Dynamic link into Value configuration of gridColumn and in that use save function to update the particular variables value. Record link is used to go to the particular record.
