  • 1.  Quick Base Action: Edit Related Records is disabled

    Posted 09-19-2018 20:21
    Given two tables with a parent-table relationship, I'd like to create an action that updates a parent field when a child record changes.  I tried to use a QB Action for this, but the "edit related records" option is disabled.  How does one enable it?

    One option is to use an Automation.

    The second option is to create a areport Link field on your child table to match

    Related parent on the left

    With the Record ID If the parent on the right.

    Once you have a report link field the edit related record will not be greed out.

    HHhmmm....interesting...
    I created a report link and used an automation to update a parent field...it seems to work for adding/modifying a child record...but fails when deleting a child record...

    I'm not sure without doing a bunch of testing myself.  You could try an Automation.

    Ah...figured out the "issue" with deletion...the date formatting granularity limits the GUI to minutes -- running a query to view the data in date epoch format shows the deletion is working....thanks!
