I have a little issue I am hoping someone else may have run into and solved?

I have a Work Order with a portal line item list. I allow input to the line item list via the portal (layout context in the main Work Order). The portal rows have a button which brings up a new window in the same line item record (Context Line Item Table) with another portal of content choices for the line item. Buttons in that portal input the chosen content into that line item.

The problem is I have a conflict because I am on the same record in the Portal on the Work Order page and in the line item content choice window.

Sadly the "commit" command in the choose script from the main Work Order page is in the wrong layout context. I need to somehow commit the portal record before the new Window opens. - like a commit Portal Row command.

I know there are several other ways around this issue but I like keeping the context of the Work Order Page in view throughout the input process.

Any Ideas???

If you use a $var to determine the line_id being selected then you can commit the main record before opening the new window. Then perform a find using the $var to find the related record from the other window.

Thanks Ideal Data, I will give that a try. I see the logic there. Goodby "Go To RR' command. Sometimes we just get bogged down in old habits?
