Smart Multi-Rows - Re-Adds Child Records

[Chris Iacovelli]

I am exploring the use of a smart multi-row to create a parent/child relationship between two forms.

Initially creating the parent and child records are fine and work without issue.

• If I update the the parent data points, it records the changes for the parent but re-adds the child rows.
• If I update the the child data points, it does not record the changes and leaves the rows unchanged.
• If I add a new child row, it records the row but re-adds all the child rows as new entries.

Version info:

• Current Confiforms version is 3.6.1
• Confluence version 7.11.2

Hi @Chris Iacovelli 

This sounds overly complicated - do you happen to have some extra IFTTT rules that are set to manipulate data in both forms?

Thanks @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ ,

I just rechecked; there are no IFTTT entries on either the master/parent

and/or the detail/child

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ ,

The master/detail data presentation is in a TableView which allowed for inline edits.

On a "let's try this and see what happens" debugging approach, I flipped to modal dialog for editing, the problem cleared.

Not ideal and not sure this is how it is supposed to work as the documentation around this seems silent on the behaviors to expect in TableView.

Are you saying that the inline edit mode for the master form in TableView misbehaves? And instead of editing rows, add them in a multi-row field?

[Chris Iacovelli]

@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ , yes. On the initial add, there are no issues. When I come in and edit the parent data points, edit the child data points, and/or add additional child rows, the entire set of child rows are re-added when inline editing is in place; this behavior is not seen in modal dialog.

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Oh, that is an unfortunate glitch. Sorry about that.

We will fix this asap
