    The main purpose of that is not for fancy formulas but the normal workflow where a regular user is just wanting to enter data for a parent record and they would expect to be able to Add Child without that "silly" pop up.  User don't need to understand that the Parent needs to be saved before you can add a child, they just assume that's he way it will work.   

    It would be nice if for at least new apps, that checkbox defaulted to checked, since as Developers we always need to remember to check that box on any parent table.
