This is just what I was looking for. I am a newbie to both in "iol" and javascript, but after some forum searching and trial in error I got an exact copy the demo to work in my app. Hooray!
Now I'm trying to customize this to my needs where 1) I don't need to increment a date, but just a number and 2) there are a couple other variables that would not appear on the parent, but I want to set in the dialog and pass to all the child records.
I feel like this would be easy, but I got no skills. Any ideas of where to start?

After another day of staring at this blankly I have worked this out.
For any other unindoctrinated that may stumble on this, I made the mistake of thinking that my lack of JavaScript was the issue, but really the key was understanding how the Quick Base API_ImportFromCSV works and that the var fidsChilds defined at the top is used in the clist portion near the bottom. Once you understand how that works you can include whatever fields you want in the dialog table, header variable and in the body so you can pass it along.
