Smart Multi-Row Intermittent Error and Finding the Parent ID

[Chris Iacovelli]

I am exploring the use of a smart multi-row to create a parent/child relationship between two forms.

Initially creating the parent and child records are fine and work without issue.

• if I save the parent record and then update it to make a change to the parent or child data points, or attempt to add a new child record, I get an intermittent error message.

• if I do not get the error above and I update the the parent or child data points, it records the changes for the parent but re-adds the child rows.
• is there a way to see the master ID in the child form when just viewing the child form (is it a hidden field)?
• is there a way to assign the parent ID in the child form if the row is created in the child form?

Hi @Chris Iacovelli 

Difficult to say anything without seeing what else have you configured for your form to do.

Seems to be overcomplicated. 

Have a look at the discussion here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Smart-Multi-Row-Intermittent-Error-and-Finding-the-Parent-ID/qaq-p/2500498?utm_source=atlcomm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=subscription_search_question&utm_content=topic

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ the link points back to this question.

I am sure it is overcomplicated as I am just coming to understand the new (for us) data type.

It is not complicated to be honest - see this page https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/ConfiForms+Smart+Multi-row+-+what+it+offers+and+how+to+use+it

Just rely on what it does and have out of the box - do not try to over complicate things :-) And do that only when "necessary"

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ I meant I am overcomplicating, not that the feature is. I always overcomplicate something new.
