Multiple Children from a parent using Formula URL

Most of the time, it is best to create and connect all these records through a code page, rather than a really long formula url field.  Especially if you want those child records to have grandchildren

But that takes some coding, or some help.

If you want to press a button on the 'Project' table, and have it make an estimate, and a bunch of details lines, you will need a javascript code page to do this.

Is the estimate and details a standard list that you could make via a template?  What types of variations do you need to the detail lines.
