Ref table with multiples tables (Using is part of...)

[Juan_Camilo_Sie]

Hi everybody.

I have a Table of Task, that I’m trying to fill up this table in diferent tables.

So it means that I have to have a single table refered to multiples tables with the mark IsPart enable.

But it seems that is not possible because I found this:
" ** A table can only have one Ref column marked IsAPartOf (a row can only be a part of one other row).*"

Any adivice or way to do this diferently ?

Ability to allow a child record to be part of multiple parent records Questions

RE: Multiple IsPartOf references in one record Currently the editor does not allow two Ref columns in a table to have IsPartOf set to True. Currently this setting is the only way to show a blank list on the parent record where a user can add new child records. So Either separate that function from the IsPartOf selections, or allow multiple IsPartOf Refs. What is the reason that this currently cannot be set for two Ref columns?

I have an app for inspections, where I have “Multiples Inpsections Forms”

1. Inspection form is to be done close to the work station. The important thig is that I create task for the worker at the end of my observations, like a “TODO” list for that worker.

2. Inspecton for to be done far from the workstation, and aswell I have to create tasks for that worker.

What I want to do is to create a single table where I can save all those task just in 1 place

What I did was to create the table Actions with Multiple ref colums where I bring the Key for those forms, and depending on that I set a value for “Where the task comes from (Close observation or far observation)”.

But Appsheet “Un Check” the option of IsPartOf automatically. And it doesn´t let mi ad task from 1 of the forms

Some Screenshots:
Form 1

Form 2: Here I activated manually the Check bos “IsPartOF” but after I save it, it desapear

BUT this is how I expected to look like

Oh you need the Add button in 2 different parent table’s forms. I’m afraid you’re out of luck here. That thread I just linked above was actually a Feature Request from almost 2 years ago to fix exactly this, I’m not sure why it is no longer in the Feature Request category.

I’d suggest figuring a way that makes sense in your app for the Parent record to be created and saved first, and then you can add Child records from the Detail view’s Inline table.

I have an other Idea.

In 1 of those forms I have a LongText Type Colum Called “Comentaries”

Do you know how to “Automatically” By clicking on “Add” in that Detail view take that value of [Comentarie] And take it to the Action Table as a Task ??

[Marc_Dillon]

It is not possible to override the Add action on Inline views like that. You can create your own Action to do that though.
