Dear All:

I have a form with a list view (child list). I want to pass the ID of the parent item to include some data (including relation key) in case of new child element (that opens a new window with the child item form to fulfill data) and to come back to the parent element form when finish edition.

I think using Java I could store the parent ID in a session variable or something like that... but i don't know how.

The target is to have in the parent form the filtered child list in a list view control and to manage the child items properly.

I 'm not satisfied with the repeating sections due to several reasons, I'm trying to find other approach to solve this relationship.

Thank you very much in advance

to handover ID between parent and child form you shouldn't need javascript.

I assume you create link to child new form on your own in some way. so it's enough just to append you custom token to the link like: &ParentID=1234

in child form you can read the value from URL with fn-GetQueryString() function.

do you need to refresh list view control on parent's for after you submit child form?

you might have difficulties to do that ...

have you though of creating a custom page with two web parts - list form web part for parent's form and list view web part for child items?

that might maybe suit you better.

see similar topic discussed here - Refresh List View without parent page reload

Dear Marian:

It works fine!

As a result I have now a nice parent-child structure using List view control.  The target is to have data only in the child list (no repeating section) included in the parent form.

I have implemented some additional code to hide the "Add new element" from the child list, using a button instead. And from child form I back to the parent form using a calc value control with hyperlink to the appropiate parent ID: https://community.nintex.com/thread/15328-add-variable-to-url-on-nintex-form?commentID=56726#comment-56581
