Hi all, I need your attention on this one.
I am becoming creative and I wonder if I should. I am trying to figure how to automaticly delete the entries which have no more reference to their parent. Let me explain the situation first. I have one form called Parent and a second one called Child(Parent and child relation). First, once a user opens a new Parent form I generate a GUID. I am using the GUID because the user might create a child relation before they save the form(In that specific case I could not transfer the RequestID). That way, I can transfer it(GUID) to my child form in order to keep my reference. However, if my users dont save their parent form and just cancel it I would like to delete all the child entries which are now useless. Now that everyone understand the situation what is the best approach taking in consideration that I have multiple application and multiple parent and child relation. I would like to avoid the redundancy in the way I develop this to come up with a generic mechanism. Here is what I did so far: 1- Form Name = AutoDeletionEntry a) Character field = EntryToDelete (Form and Entry to delete) b) Filter on sumbit run process Application-Delete-Entry $EntryToDelete$ I use the form and filter above to automaticly delete an entry from a button. From now on, all the delete entry occure from an action uses the form and filter state above. It works like a charm. I would like to use the same form and filter (if possible) to delete my orphans. In fact, I was taking about creating a escalation job to detect my orphans in order to push the values (Form name and EntryID) to my AutoDeletionEntry form but I cannot get any generic way of managing all the forms at once. Any suggestion?
