Can I add and edit a date field from a parent table on a child table (on the form)
I would like to be able edit a date field in a parent table ( Patient table) from several different child tables as well as enter account notes from my child tables (tables names are estimate and invo...
1 - Create a report in the parent table (patients table) to include the fields I would like to edit from the child record.
2 - I would then embed this report directly onto the child form in the table/tables I want to be able to do this from? (See image below "embedded on est child table)
3 - Then in the child table I would have a field set up (similar to the image attached "form field properties") - this will then have the workflow update the parent record from the grit edits done above.
Did I miss any steps??
"But a better way is to create a Report Link field to display selected fields from the Parent as an embedded report right on the child table. So edit the child and set the Form to allow the embedded report to go into grid edit mode. The the workflow is to update the parent in grid edit (it will be a one record report) and save."

Comments 1. The report you create will be unfiltered (just a reminder) 2. You will create a field of type Report Link on the child table, and configure the left field as Related Parent, and the right field by navigating to the app and then the parent table and locating [Record ID#]. 3. Then add the Report link to the form and set the report to use. Set the form property for the Report link field to be Editable.
