Can't Create Records Through Portal?

Hello!

I have this very stupid issue that I can't solve. I have portal (one to many relationship), and well all the new records I add to the portal do not get added to the table for some reason. I have a other project where they do get added. All the data however DOES update if I change anything in the portal, just can't create new records (or if I have a button creating new record, it sill just stay empty in the table while I can add as much data to the portal as I want.)

What is up here? There must be some option that I am not seeing. I have looked at 2 different projects like this and they seem exactly the same, yet there is a big difference...

to be exact portal settings and relationship settings (allow creation of new records/deletion) are the same...

Hello -

Obviously something is not setup properly. Even if you have already done so, the things to check for are...

Make certain that you can create a related record

Make certain that the relationship isn't based on an unstored calculation

Make certain that the fields that are related are the same type (both numbers or text)

If these suggestions don't work, perhaps a picture of the portal and relationship will help.

I may take a pic later if I can't solve this but anyway the relationship is as follows:

Company ID(Serial/Unique/not empty- number) -----< Companies ID (allow creation)(number) (this is BTW named differently does that matter?)

Then I also have primary key on the right hand side table that is set to be unique/ serial number/ not empty.

I can't think of what could be wrong...

Well - we're missing something...

Obviously this should work - I'm enclosing a simple file that demonstrates how things should work.

See if your solution looks anything like this...

No file attached. But the new file attachment process is different; and a little confusing.
