Trouble with unstored calc field and related records

Featured Replies

I am trying to show related records where the relationship is based on unstored calc. Please take a look at the attached file. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

The trouble with lookup and autoenter calc is that if the date in parent (Payment table) is changed, Date in child table (Payment_Details) does not update. I currently have Date in child table as an autoenter calc and have a script that loops through portal records to reset the foreign key to itself to update the value.

It is a bit akward until I find a more elegant approach.

Why would a date in the Payment table change? Once the payment is made, it's done, right?

You could try the famous Ugo method (see attached).

NOTE: I have moved the cutoff date to the payment items table for better refreshing.

Hello D J:

During data entry errors happen; also I found autoenter calc field in portal that draws data from parent is not 100% reliable, sometimes the value does not compute.
