Hi all,

I have a view that has a Navigation Link in it and the link is not working, when you tap on it it does nothing. I've even put a print statement in there and nothing happens.

Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?

I would sure appreciate it. Here is the code I'm using:

    @Environment(\.presentationMode) var presentationMode
    @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) var moc
    @State private var showAddHymnsToPlaylist = false
    @State private var editMode: EditMode = .inactive
    var playList: Playlist

   var body: some View {
        VStack {
            if playList.theHymns.count == 0 {
                NoPlaylistHymnsView(showNoPlaylistHymnsView: $showAddHymnsToPlaylist, nameOfPlaylistHymns: "Hymns")
            } else {
                List {
                    if editMode == .active {
                        NavigationLink(destination: AddHymnsToPlaylistSheetView(playlistName: self.playList)) {
                            Text("Add Hymns ...").font(.headline).foregroundColor(Color.themeAccent)
                        }
                    }
                    ForEach(0..<playList.theHymns.count, id: \.self) { hymn in
                        PlaylistHymnDetailRowView(hymn: self.playList.theHymns[hymn])
                    }
                    .onDelete(perform: deleteHymns)
                }
            }
        }
        .navigationBarTitle("\(playList.nameOfPlaylist ?? "Unknown Name")", displayMode: .inline)
        .navigationBarItems(trailing:
            HStack(alignment: .center, spacing: 20) {
                EditButton()

                Button(action: {
                    // MARK: Code Here
                }) {
                    Image(systemName: "arrow.up.square").font(.title)
                }
            }
        )
        .environment(\.editMode, self.$editMode)
    }

NavigationLink is not intended to work when in edit mode. Editing a list should not require navigating to another screen. Consider an add button in the navigation header or some other means of allowing the user to add a list item.

Also, NavigationLink isn't the proper way to display a sheet, which I assume you are trying to do based on the AddHymnsToPlaylistSheetView name. Again, a dedicated add button that shows the sheet is a better way to go here.

@roosterBoy, thanks. That makes sense. I just thought since I was in a NavigationView that I could do that. Well now I know that editMode doesn't allow a link to work. I'll add a button in the Navbar. Thanks again for the help.
