Depending on the nature of the data, you could perhaps use the table field as 
your temporary storage (I.e. Set field local action to place your various 
values into the currently selected row in the table) and do a table walk to 
send the table values back to the actual child entry's records when you hit 
save on the parent.

Subject: transaction for parent/child changes

** We've designed a form that has child requests displayed in a table list 
field.  You can interact with these child requests through this form and update 
them via display only fields and push-fields activelink buttons etc.  So the 
problem is you can update some things on the main form, and update some 
children requests, close the main request and say "yes, lose changes".  A user 
might expect that the changes to the children would be reverted back to what 
they were.
 
Is there any way to encapsulate the whole process of editing the primary 
requests and N children requests into a single transaction that gets committed 
only upon saving of the primary request?

Thanks!
