I have a data model which consists of a single parent object that will have multiple child relationships. I want to create teh parent and all the children in one go, or have a way of creating the parent, and then the children in a multi step process like they user is filling in ‘one form’ I can’t seem to find a particular example in the docs?

I think you could accomplish this with the Wizard component. The example that we have right now in the docs is Create New Contact. That tutorial shows you how to build a New Contact + Related Cases + Related Events wizard page. I would suggest that you check out that tutorial; the principle should be the same. Make sure that your child objects are linked to your parent object on the salesforce Id field with “field from another model” conditions. Cheers! Let me know if this make sense, and if you run into any further difficulties.

Ok, I made that into a new tutorial so it’s more explicit in the docs 🙂 It’s also much shorter than the Wizard tutorial. You can definitely use a Wizard if you want to do a complex, multi-object new page, but you don’t have to.

No problem! Thanks for pointing this out because we definitely needed to have a tutorial for this.
