Related Object Reference

Hey Lauren,

Welcome to the dark side and joining the Skuid world!

If I understand correctly, your data model is something like this:

Your skuid page is a view of a single Admission and in the table on that page, you have records that are related to that top level admission with a lookup. When you create a new row in that child object, you’d like the row to pre-populate with the Id of the Admission in that reference field. Is that accurate?

Second question: Are you creating this through a row action, a button or the inline table creation?

One layer on top of what you said…there’s the opportunity record (non-skuid), then the skuid page is related to the opportunity. The table (row action to create new) needs to pre-populate with the ID of the original opportunity record (so it actually isn’t directly related to the record of the skuid page at all).

I think I figured it out though… I did a “field from another model” condition…but chose the skuid page as the model (even though that’s technically the same model) and then the field that is referenced back to the oppy from there. It’s working so far.

And you’re so right about the dark side…this is TRULY addictive!

Muahahhaahhahaha I know I’m crossing references here but, resistance is futile!

That sounds like a good approach. Skuid pages are often “data agnostic” meaning that you can connect any number of records to any other number of records through model lookups. We’re sneaky like that! Let us know if you run into any other issues and we’d be happy to help!
