ADX version 7 - CRUD surrounding grandchildren entities

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm new to ADX and am attempting to create a portal that allow clients to create and maintain entities that are nested in a deep relationship structure.

For example: EntityA references a collection of EntityB which references a collection of EntityC

The only way I've manged to get this to work is to have subgrids that allow you to create a child entity for EntityB, and then once created I'm able to have another action in the EntityB subgrid to navigate to an edit form which contains a subgrid of EntityC. The problem is that you have to create EntityB before the subgrid allows you to create related child entities for EntityC. I was hoping you could set up the EntityB  creation in steps, so that the new EntityB is created first, click next, and then create related EntityC entries.

I did notice there is an option with entity forms "Auto Generate Steps from Tab", but this won't save the records until all the steps have completed, which means the related entities subgrid won't allow you to create the entities as the parent has not been saved.

My apologies if this isn't clear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
