Child Table - Grid Edit Issues
On the old style forms, I could show child records and say "allow edit". Then, when I clicked edit on the parent, it opened the child record grid edit table for me to add many new records. They all carried down and created a parent relationship.
In the new forms, it doesn't do that. I can hit Grid Edit and it pops up a new window which lets me add records, but the parent relationship isn't auto created. I'd have to go carry down that field. Both the pop out and needing to carry down that relationship are a huge pain.
Is there a work around?
Yes,That issue has been discussed.
The best workaround for now seems to be to create a super mini legacy form that just has some parent record identification on the top and that embedded child table. Then make a button to redisplay the record in edit mode on that mini Grid Edit form.
The button code would probably be this if your new mini grid edit form is ID = 11
URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=11&rid=" & [Record ID#]
