The + subgrid button now only shows the ‘Add new’ dialogue instead of the expected ‘Add existing’ lookup, Even though the lookup field on the child entity is not required. maybe caused by CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 and CRM Online Spring ’14 update?

It looks like this behaviour might be a result from applying the “Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 and CRM Online Spring ’14″ update. Even though the lookup field on the child entity is not required, we still get the ‘Add new’ dialogue instead of the expected ‘Add existing’ lookup… The release notes don’t mention any changes to this behaviour. Is there a fix to get the lookup back?

You are correct.Even though you make Parent customer field as optional in the relationship, it still shows quick create form in the sub grid. It looks like a bug please log this in microsoft connect
