I have a form (QuotationTask) that has a pattern Details Transactions that has header and line and I made a dialog form with pattern Basic-Dialog that opens when I click new in the QuotationTaskForm..

The problem is: The fields of the dialog form always read the first record!

I have tried to override the initValue of the datasource but it doesn't help..

This is the dialog form.

Hi,

In the menu item of the dialog form set the Copy Caller Query property to yes.

Hi,

Do you mean you want the function of the form to create new records? If yes, then set copy caller query to No and modify the Open mode property on the menu item to New.

Thanks,

It seems that you want to create a new record. You have two options:

Either don't use any data source at all. Use unbound dialog fields and create a record in code when closing the dialog.

Or, if you want to use a data source, create a new record (myDataSource.create()). The default behavior of data sources is that they load existing records (according to the form query) and you need to create a new record (e.g. by pressing Ctrl+N) top create a new record. Here you'll do it in code.
