Re-establishing relationships in migrated databases
I need to understand how to re-establish relationships on existing tables that I have migrated into Quickbase. I know am absolutely missingsomething that is probably pretty obvious. Its an MSAccess database, so its SQL compliant. I have a table with important information in a field that I want to preserve. This is the field in the child table--lets call the field BigInfoValue (a numeric field) and the table ChildTable. I have a tiny table with other information in it that defines what the values in BigInfoValue mean. Lets call this BigInfoParent table, and lets call the fields BigInfoValue (a numeric field I want to relate the tables on which I've also designated the key field), BigInfoTerm, and BigInfoDefinition. I absolutely cannot figure out how to make the two tables link on BigInfoValue. When I try to create a table relationship, with BigInfoParent, Quickbase does not offer me BigInfoValue in the child table as a linking field. It creates a brand-new field called Related BigInfo something something. I've also tried to establish a table relationship with the RecordID field in BigInfoParent to BigInfoValue in the ChildTable. No dice. Quickbase just doesn't offer me the field that I think should be linked. Any help would be appreciated.14Views0likes1CommentQuickbase Actions
I am trying to make a Quickbase action... When a certain action takes place, I would like for a field to be edited, rather than having a new record created. However, the option for a field to be edited is blurred out. I need the field in another table to be edited? What am I missing?18Views0likes1CommentSame reference field, different selections within the form
I have a scenario where I have a parent table with a list of trial numbers. I have a related table that has a list of subjects. Each trial has many subjects, and some subjects have more than one trial. In my form, I want to be able to add a new subject. In one field, I have labeled the primary trial, which is a table relationship picker. However, I also want to have a second field labeled the secondary trial, which would pick from the same table as the primary trial did, but with different results. How do I make the referenced selector independent of one another?Solved20Views0likes2CommentsFilter records based on table connection
Not sure if the title exactly describes what I am trying to achieve, but here is what I'm working on. I am trying to create a simple-ish application for one of my teams where they can track projects, enter associated time entries for each and then create invoices for those entries. My setup is Customers table, Projects table, Time Entries table, and Invoices table. Customers relates to Projects and Invoices (1 Customer can have many Projects and Invoices). Projects relates to Time Entries and Invoices (1 Project can have many Time Entries and many Invoices). Invoices relates to Time Entries (1 Invoice can have many Time Entries). What I'd like to have happen is when a user goes to create a new Invoice, they would select a Customer and then a Project and then see a list of Time Entries where Customer and Project match AND the value in the Related Invoice field is blank (i.e. Time Entries that have not been previously invoices). The thinking is that the user would then be able to select all the Time Entries they wanted to have included on the new Invoice and then the Related Invoice field for those Time Entries would be updated with the newly created Invoice. Is something like this possible?Solved27Views0likes1CommentBi-Directional Data?
Hey everybody! I have a form I created to keep track of inventory in our IT room named "hardware". I have another form I created when issuing equipment (new assignments). New assignments allows me to search the user by employee ID number (that's pulled from another table called employees), and then i have a lookup field that brings up the details of the equipment when I search by serial number. One of the details it pulls is the "hardware status" that can be several predefined options like "in stock" or "Issued". I have a checkbox on the form new assignments, that when checked and the form saved, I would like it to automatically update the field from "In Stock" to "Issued" in the hardware table. Is this possible? Where can I find documentation on how to do this? Thanks!

Hello! Intermediate-level user here and very much enjoyed the former QB forum - hoping to see some familiar faces on here. I am dipping my toes in the waters of fixing a Quickbase app that I didn't actually build - which is great! Something I'm thinking I want to learn more about/perhaps pursue from here. But also feels like the litmus test here - fixing my own Quickbase that I built is one thing, but now getting to know the ins-and-outs of someone else's is - wow. Anyway. One ask from the team I'm refreshing this for, I'm struggling with because I'm not sure this is possible. They want to see on the Table view, a field that populates a date from the related table of the last record. Perhaps there's a formula that I can pull to make this a field. So -- in the simplest terms, I feel like what this field needs to be is: Parent Table owns the field, and that field is points to the Record Date of the newest Child Table record. How can I do this? Is there perhaps a formula field to build? Also - I see my predecessor attempted this, and it is reporting out on several fields..... I don't quite know how to make sure my fix populates everywhere, other than editing the specific existing field. Could I just copy that field, and it'll still report on those records? I know if I "change type" of field, you can often only do that once, and it won't let you change it a second time.57Views0likes5CommentsHow to add list of attachments on child record from parent record
I have a parent record with child work records. The parent record also has child records attachments. I'm pulling all of the information from the parent recod into the child work record, so the user does not have to go out to the parent record to see the details. The one issue I have is how to show the attachments from the child record onto the child work record?
