Portal in within related table

[VanDutch]

Hi,

I can't seem to be able to have a portal within a tab where the layout is based on table occurrence 'widgets' and the portal is also based on 'widgets'.

Layout Setup

Show Records from 'widgets'

Portal Setup

Show related records from 'widgets'

When I try to setup the records which are related to widgets, widgets is greyed out. Leads to to believe this is not possible.

Help/advice would be much appreciated

Create another table occurrence of Widgets and base your portal on that. A table occurrence can't be DIRECTLY related to itself - only another table occurrence of itself; it used to be called a self-join. Relate them on WidgetID (or if you want all widgets in the portal, relate them on cartesian join - the X join option). :wink2:
