Why is use of page parameters so inconsistent?
I
want to have a page with a main record and a list of sub-records selected by a
parameter into the page. I can not find an easy way of doing this with Zoho.
With for example Knack, this is straight forward.
Here
is my best solution with all the dirty tricks explained:
- Create a main form and a sub-form with a look up field
to the main form
- Duplicate the main form into a stateless form
- Creat a page with a page parameter (param)
- Define a form-element in the page using the stateless
form and add field value (edited in Application IDE to get it right)

- Add an on load script to the stateless form to fill in field values:

- Define a report-element in the page using the sub-form
report and add a selection criteria (edited in Application IDE to get it right)

- Go to the Application IDE and edit: remove quotation marks , and
remove dollar sign and parantesis, change the field name and save

- Call the page with the parameter for selection

I
guess that I am not the first using hours to figure out how to manipulate the
code to get this result, or is it me that is damn stupid?
