Parent/Child View

    This plugin is awesome! It handles not only the simple data entry, but also parent/child relationships and look-ups.

    I wonder if it can also show the views with parent/child relationship. It looks like all the building blocks (view mode, relationship management, and etc.) are available, but just not allowed for views. My use case is to build a drill-down report, where the parent is the aggregated report presented in a view and the child the detail report in another view. Perhaps, I just missed a way to turn this feature on?

    Hi kooyaya,

    Thank you for your compliments! ??

    You can use views in a relationship, but only in a child block. Sorry! For the parent, the plugin needs to be able to uniquely identify a row. For that it use the primary key (or a unique key if no primary key is found). Since a view has no primary or unique key, the plugin cannot use a view as a parent.

    A possible solution is to add a “fake unique key” to a view. The good news: it is on my to do list! ?? The bad news: my to do list is loooooong…. ??

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Yes, a fake unique key works for me! Thank you, Peter!
