Smart multi-row field not supporting Action Button
Asked by Markus Hintzsche:

Hello there,

I've got two Forms linked via Smart Multi Row. First Form ist for announcing personell requests and per request the user shall be able to suggest 1 to many personell suggestions.

So it looks like this:

What i want to achieve is to offer the ability to choose one of the suggestions via click on an action button. This seems to be impossible at the moment, because confiforms says:

ConfiForms Smart multi-row field does not support using of 'action button' fields at the moment

Are there any plans to implement it or is there another way to achieve my plans?

Thanks in advance

Try creating nested views yourself, creating a view over your main form and nesting another view over your view that holds the rows referenced through the smart multi-row

Nested view needs to be dynamically filtered based on the values in the main (outer) view

The "join" function should help you with that

body: Hi Alex,

I was trying to nest a TableView for Form PersonelSuggestions inside a TableView for Form PersonellRequest to show up only those Suggestions that belong to the specific Request. I'm stuck on configuring the nested PersonelSuggestions TableView filter to shop up only those, that are belonging to the request. Have you got any hint for me?

Thanks in advance,

Markus

body: You cannot nest a TableView within another TableView, but you can do the same with a ListView/CleanView which support having the nested views

Something like this <https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Master+Detail+forms+or+how+to+show+data+from+2+forms+which+are+referenced+using+ConfiForms+smart+fields>

It'd be easier for me to have action button worked on smart multi row... are there any plans to implement it?

body: [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) I must correct my previous statement, it's not working the way I need it to. I can display the data with the nested way you showed up.

On modification of a field of inner Form i want to update a record of the outer form. You will ask me why, so here's the answer: the PersonellRequest has information about the team, the role and everything else needed, the only information that is needed to fullfill the request ist the information, which PesonelSuggestion has been accepted. So in the end i want a record that consists of the starting Request of a team, the gathered suggestions and finally the chosing of the team, which suggestion will be accepted to be in the team. So i want the data of the accepted suggestion record copied to the parent request record. Any Idea how to solve that?

I could create a Registration form Personel Suggestions that needs the user to chose which PersonelRequest it belongs to via Smart Classifier, then I would have all data at hand to make whatever i want to. But in reasons of usability it's not that cool, have a look at my picture from the first post, that would be great if i could present the data that way and could deliver a choice button directly on the rows of the suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Markus
