Re: How to add multiple child records and display the child records added before submitting the form?
In addition to checking the box that Mark wisely recommends, you might want to consider some options for the user experience.
1. Checking the box and offering a button to add a (child record) for the intake date. In this case, if the user is editing the parent record and clicks the add button, the user experience will be to add the child, save it, and be returned to the parent in view mode. They can then add another child if you have the add button displayed when the parent is in view mode. Or they can click the standard widget to re-edit the parent.
2. Using a grid-edit embedded table for the child (intake date) records. This may not be a totally intuitive option for users not experienced in Quick Base, but it reduces the back-and-forth between edit and view modes. You might have to insert a text field above the embedded table to guide the users. Essentially, there's an embedded table of intake date records on the parent record, and in the form-builder you specify that the table is editable. Then the user can type multiple records (rows) right in the embedded table, all while in edit mode on the parent.
3. A custom version of the standard "Save & keep working" button might be useful, since your form is long. The following post has various ideas on how to do that: https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/is-it-possible-to-create-a-save-and-keep-working-bu...
