Show a portal of potential entries not yet created based on dates

[markreynard]

I have a table showing the following 3 fields

StartDate, EndDate and Location

I would like to show a portal with a line for everyday from StartDate to EndDate. with a field Name (Without creating a child record) 

A child record would be created if an entry was added to the field name

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

That's not possible. A portal displays related records, one record in each row. Without a related record to display, the portal row will be empty.

It is possible, however, to use a dummy table to populate the portal with a "grid" of the required day slots, and to create a record in the real child table when the Name field is filled. See the attached demo file.
