We put a Display Only "Processing ID" field on the 3rd form and have the main form push to the 3rd form (Standard Phase 2 action). All workflow on the 3rd form takes into account if Processing ID is Null or not. i.e. Data validation takes place if Processing ID = $NULL$. If Processing ID != $NULL$ then it pushes data to the subform (again standard Phase 2 action).
Just to keep things clear we rename Modified Date and Last Modified By to Touched Date and Touched By and have our own Modified Date and Last Modified By fields that are filled in by a filter when Processing ID = $NULL$.

The subfile has two (actually more, but this is just for illustration) fields, a Parent ID field that contains the Entry ID of the main form, and an Info field. On submission of the main form, I use a filter to retrieve a list from a third form, then process that list to create subfile entries. Eg, it would retrieve a list like: abcde hijkl mnopq Then if the main form Request ID is 87 it should produce subfile entries of: Parent ID: 87 Info: abdde Parent ID: 87 Info: hijkl Parent ID: 87 Info: mnopq. So, on submission of the main form, filters process the list, and move each entry on the list into a temp field and do a Push Field to create the subfile record. Here's the problem. Push Fields get deferred to phase 2, and by that time the temp field is overwritten so no subfile records get created. If I add `! to the end if the filter name, the filter runs in phase 1, but the main form Entry ID hasn't been created yet. The ideal would be to run the workflow in an Active Link "After Submit," but there are times when the main form itself is created via Push Field action, so the Active Links won't run. Any suggestions?
