Add Record From Current View

[Reid]

I have a database to track job numbers. In a layout I have each specific job with a portal that shows the notes I have made for that job (notes are from job_notes table). I have a button "add_note" that has a script that opens up a new window in add mode to add a new note.

The problem is that I have to choose the job number from the new window. I'd like it to automatically choose the job number I was viewing when I clicked the "add_note" button.

Is this possible?

There's a better way. Your "Add Note" button should capture the JobID and put it in the JobNotes:JobID.

Like this, in pseudocode:

Set variable $JobID Jobs:JobID

New Window

Go to layout Notes

New Record

Set Field Notes:JobID to $JobID

Resize window

Pause

Close Window.
