Hi,

In sahrepoint 2010 we have xlstListviewwebpart and we can establish relational between list via -”Insert relatioed list” functionality.
However we still have the problem of defaulting the selected Parent ID in Child list new form.
I am not able to figure out how do I determine the ID field name from aprent list.
u ahd used $parentID in querystring for ur example.
Can you please sugguest for xsltlistviewwebpart?

Thanks

Mark,

Can you accomplish this same functionality with a List to Document Library relationship? Instead of going from Parent List (Issues) to Child List (Time), you would be going from Parent List (Issues) to Child Library (Documentation for instance).

With a document library their is no new item form, only an upload form, so i can’t figure out how to carry the ID relationship in an automated manner.

This is great, many thanks for putting this together!

One question though, will this site backup & restore ok?

I created a backup of my site, but when I restored it the associated “children” aren’t displayed on the “parent” form (the webpart gives a “non-specific” error), and also the “create new child” page which magically inserts the FK won’t display either…. any ideas why?

This is a great article and everything was going fine until I got to the insert part of the NewForm. I’m trying to use a document library as my child list. I have an Issues parent list where users need to upload photos related to an issue. I don’t want to use attachments because it is difficult to access the attached files independently. Is there any way to accomplish this with a document library?

Thanks for the great article. Any suggestions to cascade delete are welcome.

For those who don’t want to look up the syntax in Marks other article:

Create a new Time Log Entry…

It seems to be case sensitive, else the insert item link won’t redirect to the Parent (Issue) list after saving the new Child item (Time Log), but to the Child (Time) list.
