5 years agoLet's first rule of the obvious normal way. If the parent has an embedded table of the children and you edit the form properties for the report link field you can put the children into grid edit mode automatically when you edit the parent record.

- RossonLong15 years agoQrew CadetThe children are part of another app so having them set as "editable" in the form rules doesn't seem to make them editable by default when I view them. I still hit "Grid Edit" on the list of related children. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong and that's why the children records are not editable when I arrive on the form?
Our employees do this every day and they are in China so their page load times are typically a bit slower so I'm trying to decrease the number of page loads they need to perform a rather monotonous task.
Right now the fastest way is still to click the report link and then click "grid edit" on the top right hand side.
Mainly just curious if I can make this any faster and just have them arrive on a page where they are already editing the children.

There is a report type called Grid Edit.
Make a perfect report with an <ask the user> field on related Parent.
run the report and answer the question with any parent.
Observe the URL and mimic it
URLRoot() & "db/xxxxxxx" & "?a=q&qid=99&nv=1&v0=" & [record ID#]
That says to run a report #99 which has 1 question (nv=1) and the answer to the zeroth question (it likes to start numbering at zero) is [Record ID#]

- RossonLong15 years agoQrew CadetThen again, I can't get the "editable" checkbox to change how any of my report links work when they are shown in a form. You still have to click "Grid Edit" on the top of the table showing the children from within the form. (The "Editable" checkbox doesn't seem to do much).

Editable means that if the Parent is in edit mode to also make the children editable.

So maybe just have the users edit the parent and then the children will be in grid edit.
