Huge Oversight with New Forms?

Hi,

Maybe I'm missing something, but I just ran into an error with the new forms and am baffled as to how we are about 7 months into the new forms and this error exists.

I've setup a very basic parent-child relationship. When I go to add children records from the parent, it is incapable of chain-adding records (i.e. Save + New). When I try to do so, it only relates the first child to the parent record. All subsequent records are parentless. The only way around this is to Save & Close and add from the parent directly..

Then on top of this, when I'm done adding children and go to save the parent record, it redirects me to add another child record (???).

I'm really hoping this is my own incomptence, but it's rather frustrating to find this out many hours into a project.

Thanks for any guidance/help!

Yes, I'm having a similar glitch with a app that is using the older style forms. When the user goes to save a record it will take them back to a random previously entered record.

Are you still having this issue? or have any updates?

Just reviving this thread. I too had this same issue but I think I have found a work around. If you actually put the related field parent field on the child record, it seems to work. I am not sure why...but I think I am having success. Let me know if it works for you!
