Hi Matthew,
I can certainly understand that you would rather not pay an additional charge for functionality like this. However, we've found that most of our clients do not have the time or resources or don't want to spend the time and resources to attempt to perfect this as you are doing. They instead have focused their time and resources on their business and so they appreciate that there are add-ons like Exact Forms Plus available to them that can provide that extra functionality that they want and need. Although embedding the child data as you are trying to do on your own is a powerful feature of Exact Forms Plus, there are many other features that help justify its cost. We at Juiced are always looking to add additional functionality to Exact Forms Plus to make it even more attractive as well.
We are also getting ready to release a new add-on for NO monthly charge...Exact Forms Basic. This will provide a lot of functionality that is not available with native Exact Forms, including the embedded child data formatting that you are working on. It will be a scaled down version of Exact Forms Plus with limits on the number of documents you can create every month and limits on some advanced functionality but it will hopefully be something that a lot of QuickBase users will find a value with.
We plan on offering this add-on for NO monthly charge, just a small one-time setup charge to cover the time it takes to install it in your app. Availability will be on or around December 1. I'll post back here with more details as we get closer to making Exact Forms Basic available.
And a special offer to you Matthew for starting this thread, you can be our first pre-release client on Exact Forms Basic. Let me know if you are interested.
Keith
