Grid Edit Typical Behavior?

Is the typical behavior when using grid edit on a report link (child table) that if you try to add records to the bottom, you must manually select the parent? It doesn't automatically associate?

Also, on some of mine, adding new ones simply leaves the related field blank, the others it chooses a seemingly random parent (though its not quite random, when I double click the cell to select the parent, in one instance it simply says 'Browse Choices', this is the blank case. In another scenario, it has one random parent that can be selected, and then 'Browse Choices'. This is the case where it fills in that random parent, that actually doesn't exist...).

Does anyone know how all this behavior is supposed to work?

  • The usual and normal behavior is that you are certainly allowed to add child records  by simply adding extra rows onto the bottom of an embedded trial report on a parent record and they will automatically link to the parent. Is there something unusual about the set up of the relationship?

      Maybe I will ask customer support. Have you tried lately? It's not just one of my report links or one table, its global for me. I have 3 apps and 100's of tables. I can choose any one and try to add a child via grid edit and I get the same behavior. It does not link to the parent unless you go find it in the related field. I can screen share and show you if you like sometime.

        I suggest Support first.  I just tried it on a test app and it worked just fine.
