Most elegant way to create related record?

[WilliamCB]

I used to create related records in scripts by recreating what a user does - ie going to the last row and entering data. It's always thrown up problems from time to time.

Then I started using this, from Comment:

Go to Layout [ Child ]

New Record[]

Set Field [ Child::ParentID ; Get ( ScriptParameter )

...

The button on the Parent layout should be defined to call the script with the parameter Parent::ParentID.

But this leaves you with the problem of recreating the state of the screen you left, eg putting all the tabs back as they were.

Does anybody have a solution that is the best of all worlds: simple, not dependent on layout features, IWP consistent, persists the state of the layout the user is on?

You could open a new window, do the thing, then close it. Not sure about IWP, though.
