Quick Create form not showing up from subgrid

I have allowed quick create form for one of my entities. I have added a subgrid of that entity in its parent entity. When I try add a record, it is supposed to show quick create form but it redirects to new form. I have also added the look up of parent entity as business required but still modesl not work.

    Hi All,

     

    Even after following all the steps provided by @Owen_Wetherow, if your quick create form is not getting launched, try clearing your cache and check. 

    This resolved the issue after sitting hours 🙂

     

     

    Steps provided by @Owen_Wetherow :

    1. In the Solution create table Parent
    2. In the Solution create table Child -> add Lookup to table Parent
    3. In table Child -> Properties -> Advanced Properties -> Leverage Quick-Create Form If Available
    4. In table Child -> Forms -> New Quick-Create Form and create form
      1. New Quick-Create Form will be greyed out if step 3 not completed
    5. In table Parent -> Main Form -> Components -> Sub-grid -> Related Records and select table Child
      1. This is using the Lookup to table Parent from step 2 
    6. In the App -> Edit -> New Page -> select Dataverse table -> select Parent table -> add to navigation is true
    7. The Step I Missed In the App -> Edit -> New Page -> select Dataverse table -> select Child table -> add to navigation is true/false

    Well in retrospect this makes a lot of sense!  Thanks for sharing!

    What You Were Likely Missing

    The Setup

    1. In the Solution create table Parent
    2. In the Solution create table Child -> add Lookup to table Parent
    3. In table Child -> Properties -> Advanced Properties -> Leverage Quick-Create Form If Available
    4. In table Child -> Forms -> New Quick-Create Form and create form
      1. New Quick-Create Form will be greyed out if step 3 not completed
    5. In table Parent -> Main Form -> Components -> Sub-grid -> Related Records and select table Child
      1. This is using the Lookup to table Parent from step 2 
    6. In the App -> Edit -> New Page -> select Dataverse table -> select Parent table -> add to navigation is true
    7. The Step I Missed In the App -> Edit -> New Page -> select Dataverse table -> select Child table -> add to navigation is true/false

    Explanation

    • Why it worked the first time: The first time I setup a quick create form I wanted the table Child in my App navigation so I did step 7 unintentionally and everything worked perfectly. I had done everything correctly without knowing it.
    • Why it didn't work the second time: The second time I setup a quick create form I DID NOT want table Child in my App navigation so I skipped step 7 intentionally. The quick create form did not work when I selected New Child from the sub-grid.
      • Why did I think it would work? When you add a Child sub-grid to the Parent form it shows up in the application whether or not you did step 7 and it works! But it navigates to the Child main form whenever you select New Child from the sub-grid. 

    Solution

    As there are nearly 18000 views of this article there is clearly a user experience gap.

     

    1. As of this writing the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/create-edit-quick-create-forms only mentions in a Note: The table must be added to your app
      1. This explanation could be expanded to identify how critical this step
      2. Or even better add this as a numbered step in the creation guide
    2. The little info bubble beside Leverage Quick-Create Form If Available should include: Quick create forms will not show unless this table is added as a new Page to the App

    If this helped please thumbs up or mark as best solution.

    Nope. All Tables are in app designer; form is there; lookup to parent is business required; published solution; published app (several times).

    I missed on adding the Entity that needs to be shown as quick create in the app designer. Adding that solved the issue.

    For anyone else that runs into this behavior, the resolution was to ensure the entity and form you are enabling for quick create are added as components in App Designer.

    This fixed it for me.

    Hi @summitb, did you ever get this resolved?  I'm seeing the same behavior.

    @Anonymous, I have a custom entity, Allow Quick Create is enabled.  There is only one Quick Create form.  Hitting "+ New Custom Entity" on a subgrid still opens the main form.

    Any ideas?
