Hello all,

My details

I have a file called Meetings and created a self-join relationship to a file called Mychild. The problem arose when I created a portal in Meetings that went to Mychild. I then created a field in the portal that is Mychild::Title. The field does not show in the portal, I also made the field into a button that would go to the layout Action Items. The button does not work, the field seems invisible.

After reading the entry level portal post I thought the problem could be because there is no data in Mychild. Could this be the case? How would I get data into Mychild?

thanks in advance,

Christian

In your relationship definition check the "allow creation of related records" option. When you start typing into a field (unless, of course that field acts as a button to take you to some other layout), a related record in the child file will be created.
