Moving blank portal record to top

[rpan]

I'm sure this forum has touched this topic. How do you get the blank portal record to appear at the top of the portal rather than the bottom? Is it possible with FM6?

Not possible in any version. If you wish to simulate something like that, use a set of global fields that correspond to the fields in the portal, then use a button attached to a script to set a new related record with the contents of the globals.

You could also have a script create a new record. Use a global to temporarily hold the key. With an assending sort the blank record should appear at the top.

Set Field [ global ; primarykey ]

Go To Layout [ related ]

New Record Request

Set Field [ foreignkey ; global ]

Go To Layout [ back to where you started ]
