Add New Record on Popover

[garrysy]

Hi,

How to create new record from the popover button?

I have customer layout which has City field with drop down selection, I want to create a popover button beside so that user can instantly add city incase the city is not listed on the dropdown list.

It has table relationship as well. One to many relationship with One for City Table ( CityID - Primary Key) and Many for Customer Table ( CityID - foreign key).

Please advice,

Thank you.

I don't think a popover needs to be part of the process. When you define your value list allow other entries. When a user enters an "other"  value it will, if your value list is based on the contents of a related field, add this value to the ist in effect.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for your reply.

But how should I do it? I've check the checkbox of allow creation of record on the relationship in the manage database, but it does not created new record once user input on an "other" value text field in the customer layout.
