i have a parent form... in Action pane i have newButton...when i press it opens a form that has the same data source as parent... i did this code in clicked() method

void clicked()
{
Args args = new Args();
FormRun formRun;
super();
args.name(formstr(ChildForm));

formRun = classFactory.formRunClass(args);
formRun.init();

formRun.run();

Hi AXDEV_1,

You can have a look at e.g. creation of customer, sales order, project where also a creation form is opened for creating new records. See how it is implemented on these forms.

I looked through them but there is different a little bit....I want to know if I did right when in child form and in parent form I set the same datasource? I need to do a child form to create records in parent form...

Hi AXDEV,

How can you use the same datasource for parent and child forms. The forms Andre mentioned in his comments, for creation of sales order is not the parent form of actual sales order list form. Can you share the screenshots what actually you are trying to achieve?

You can do this by following the examples above. Check the code, and the properties of the objects involved, like the button/menuitembutton properties or the clicked method that are opening the child forms. Check the form and formdatasource initializations, filters, active links, and their table relations to see what could be the connection between them in order to make it work.

I am afraid we cannot teach you basic AX knowledge in the limited framework and options within a Community Forum, other than recommending to take a development course, read books, or use the examples already available in the application and documentation/blogs.
