Qrew LegendJust chiming in on that Grid Edit issue where the current behaviour in new style forms allows the user to create children which are not linked to the parent or I guess if you make the [Related Parent] field required it would require the user to choose the parent that they are sitting on.
One option is to set the form properties in new style forms to disable grid edit. Then create a legacy form which is super mini in size. Just basically a heading which identifies the parent and an embedded grid edit report.
Then make a URL formula button for the new style form that would re-display the record Edit Mode on the Legacy Mini "Grid Edit" form.Then the user would do their data entry in grid edit mode and SAVE and it would re-display on the New Style form.
That would allow you to maintain consistency of look of the new style forms which in the long term is a better user experience but provides an acceptable workaround to Grid Edit where the user basically hits a button to Grid Edit.
Eventually one would hope that the New Style forms will mimic the Grid Edit behaviour of Legacy forms but until then this is probably an acceptable work around.
Thank you so much Mark and Chayce for your suggestions.
For now, I decided to take a simpler rule and added a few lines of instructions and will have the analysts first create the Asset Request form (save it) and then add the records via Grid Edit in Asset forms with Related Asset Request a required field.
I decided to keep the new form as I do like the layout with the Grid edit report showing to the right in the Asset Request form.
Thank you so much for your help!
