Thanks for the suggestions! So I might have 3 forms. Primary, Child, and Child-temp...
So for editing an existing request w/ existing children I might have an onload activeLink Guide that pushes all the existing Child requests into the Child-Temp form, and the Table List field on the primary form would actually be attached to the child-temp form, not the actual child form. Brilliant! Thanks for the suggestion both of you. I was thinking I would duplicate fields on the child-form for holding present and previous values, but this is much cleaner! Still... wouldn't it be nice to be able to say "start trans" or something? :-) Thanks again Brien On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 8:53 AM, Mark Lev <[email protected]>wrote: > Perhaps a staging form that holds the child modifications, and a routine to > push them to actual when primary form is confirmed. > > Mark > > ________________________________ > > From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) on behalf of Brien > Dieterle > Sent: Fri 2/6/2009 10:34 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: transaction for parent/child changes > > > ** We've designed a form that has child requests displayed in a table list > field.
