Problem w/ Lookup from line item

I'm having a probem with my Invoice/LineItems database. I'm setting the LineItem's date and status via a lookup into Invoices. The problem is that unless I click outside fields on the Invoice layout (to commit the record) the lookup doesn't work.

This has got to be a bug, but I need to find a work-around. Some way to commit the Invoice before any LineItems are created.

Is anyone else running into this problem, or have an idea on how I can fix it?

Thanks

Well,

This wasn't working with prior version of FM too.

Lookups in the lineitems, specially if the lineitem is entered through a portal, would need the record in Invoice to be commited first.

The best way was to create any invoice with a script with an ending "Exit Record" step. I'd assume a Commit Record step would now be rather straightforward.

Thanks Ugo,

It's pretty lame that this doesn't work. I've been finding a lot of annoying bugs in FM7 lately.
