Open -> Add record -> Save and Close -> Add to Lookup

[tovidiu]

I have a lookup field with which I open a form in a new window and add a new entry.
How can i save the edit form, close the popup window and add automatically to the lookup field?
Thanks

Can I ask the opposite question? How to make the popup form not close after adding a new element.
As an example, in places of poor Internet reception, it is best to put the checkboxes next to the list and select all the elements from the table at once. But the ability to add new records should remain.

Good question, I've asked Steven.

Hi selector,

The easiest way to add a number of records at a time to a table is through a BrowesEdit Form before you ask a Lookup to Choose just one record.

You could do this by adding a Button that goes to that BrowesEdit, placing it near the Lookup, and making its title something like
Add Multiple Records For this Lookup.

If this empty function is added in Setup -> Header, the popup will no longer close.

Code: Select all

function nuAddedByLookup(){
  // do nothing - don't close the popup
}
