Re: Related List: Choose an existing record in foreign table



Hi Murray,

what I did in my prototype is to pop up a window with all foreign
records. In front of that list I render checkboxes which signals if
the record is linked. The user then may tick one or more of the boxes
to modify current relations.

Not sure if this is an option for glom. See the attached screen for explanation.


Regards,
Michael

Hi Murray,

all linked records do show up in the related list. What I try to
figure out is how to link another, already existing record from the
other table (I'm looking for something like the "Find" button I see
when displaying a foreign-key field from a table).

You would have to go to the other table and change the field value
there. To make that easier, you can use a Choice drop-down.

If we let you do it directly from the related records list, I don't know
how we would present that feature in the UI. I guess I'd need a real
world example to think about.
