  4. Add table for account including name field

  5. Add Drawer row action

  6. Inside of drawer add page title specifying context to accountid of row in context

  7. Add button to page title with run multiple actions and “create new row in contact”

  8. Inside of drawer add field editor specifying context to accountid of row in context and including Name, FirstName & LastName

  9. Preview page

  10. Click “+” to add new account row

Hello All - Tested in Banzai 7.7 and still experiencing this issue.  Any updates?


Thanks for the report - we will investigate.  (Though it may be after Dreamforce…) 


Barry, 

You may already be aware of this, but one thing that should work (just tested in our dev org) at least in the meantime is to add default values on your create row action. I agree that having it just read context and figure that out for you would be sweet, but if it’s holding you up, it may make sense to go that route, at least for now.


Thanks for the insight J.  Yeah, setting default values should work. There was a similar post on 6.x where applying the context was addressed so all the pages we’re moving over are written under that assumption. Unfortunately I have about 60+ pages that would require the workaround so I’m going to hold off a bit on implementing until you guys are able to assess timeline, etc.   Worst case, default values should be a temporary solution if necessary.  

Thanks again!


This should be resolved in Banzai Update 2, now available from Skuid Releases.


Tested and confirmed as resolved in Skuid 7.16.  Thank you!
