Hi guys,

Need help on my parent child problem. So I have 2 forms, lets say FormHeader and FormDetail.

There is one field in Form Header, named : NextLineNum, its datacardcontrol - default property is Parent.default

As I have the FormDetail, I want every time I add this with NewForm(FormDetail), when submit both form, same time, the FormHeader - field NextLineNum is added by 1, but if it is on edit form, EditForm(FormDetail), the Submit(FormHeader), don't add this field, just update which is will be same as the initial value.

As mentioned, I'm using Submit for both. so I didn't use Patch, because I want to make use its form validation automatically. But now I'm confuse how to make those logic works ?

Please help.

Thanks in advance

Thanks

I am not sure if I understod your question... But, If you need to use something to add, why dont you use a var and set the var as default?

If this dont solve your problem, show the "process" you want to make

Hi @Nogueira1306

It is actually a simple process, but I found quite confusing in reality.
Something like this :

I think my question is :
1. Should I put the Default to -> already added by 1 ? or it is added by 1 after I Submit ?
2. can I use Submit both forms, under the same button ?

For the variable, actually I managed to do it without variable, currently I put the Default of that field on FormHeader to be like this :
If (FormDetail.Mode = FormMode.New, Parent.Default + 1, Parent.Default)
So, refer to my question no. 1, I am now, put the addition before it is being submitted.
But apparently, if something wrong with FormHeader but FormDetail is ok, then FormDetail succeeded to submit, but FormHeader won't be updated (means it falls back to the initial value + 1)

Thanks

I think that you should only add after submit. And I would set it in a var to make it easier

Ok,
One last question, hopefully. Just to confirm, is it after Submit, and success, the FormMode is auto switch to View ? coz I tried to trap the process, and put some formula in OnSuccess of that FormDetail, whenever the formmode is Formmode.New, then I add Patch to update the field in table of FormHeader. It doesn't seems to work. As it looks like after success Submit of FormDetail, the form is not in New state anymore.

Thanks

If you want to clear the form or change the view mode you need to set it onFailuer / On sucess
