Child popup form breaks page

[Niels Larsen]

Hi Bruce

I have an APP where I have a popup form with a browse, with a child, with a child.
Child popup form number 2 and number 3 breaks the page.
I have recreated it in attached example.
Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

I've got the example running, but no idea what to do to "break" it, and also no idea what "break" even means? I mean, what should I be looking for?

Cheers

Sorry for the lack of explanation.
If you insert a record in child 1 or 2, the child browse won't be updated and "Insert" will remain disabled.

Hi Bruce

Have you tried if you can see if it's me doing something wrong or?

Hi Niels,

Yeah, I've been looking at it, and I can see what's going on, and I may be able to fix it, but...

In a more conceptual sense I'm wondering about the place of "browse children". The whole concept on a browse having children makes the browse into a container, and the browse doesn't make a good container (that's the Form's job). So there are going to be lots of edge cases where the child-browse approach will struggle, while the Memory-form-contains-multiple-browses approach will work better.

In the longer term I may get to deprecating the "children" approach - it adds a lot of complexity to the architecture of a page, without adding a lot of benefit. Food for thought.

cheers

Hi Bruce

I understand your point. It was just a quick way to make a "matrix".
I have no problem moving it to a memory form.

Thanks for the feedback.
