Goal: I have an existing MySQL connection. I want to rapidly create a crud "app" or standalone screen for a table already existing. From there I can make the changes I want to make custom functionality
Details: Is it possible to speedily create a standlone CRUD screen like how I used to seen on retool youtube channel ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZLwEwKVPyQ&ab_channel=Retool
I used to be able to do thiseasily, but now it seems like things have either moved around a bit.
Hi @Toka_Lebenya, welcome to the forum! 
Our product has grown and changed over time. Although we do not support the "Generate an app from data" feature, we can still build an app in a few minutes.
For users looking into a plug and play add rows to table implementation, now we have Standalone forms, which can be built in much faster than 6 minutes. 
However, for an app that supports full CRUD, now it does take a few more minutes. Here is a tutorial on how to build this:
Connect your data to a Table component:
