Button for create a new record which has a connection to a record
I have a table, where in every record, i have a connection of records from a different table showing up. (1:N)
when want to get a new record, normally click "+ Neuer Datensatz" at the 1:N, and there i get a new record, which already has automatically a connection to the table. But then i use a button with the code:
create TableName
it just gives me a new record, but no connection to the table i am in.

I can try.
You have a good start with:
create TableNameThe issue you are encountering is you have not specified the record to link to the new record in TableName. Since I don't know the structure of your DB, let us start with the following:
2 tables - Table1 and Table2
Table1 is your main table with a 1:N relationship to Table2. There is a field in Table2 called 'linktoTable1' which is the reference field to Table1. It is not just a plain text field.
So in Table1 we create a button with the following:
let t := this let newRec := (create Table2) newRec.linktoTable1 := tLine 1 creates a variable t that stores the Ninox recordId of the current record.
Line 2 creates a variable that first creates a new record in Table2.
Line 3 then takes that new record in Table2 then links the reference field 'linktoTable1' to the record that stored in the variable t.

Fred Very great explained! Thank you very much!

i thank you very much! Somehow i just started to understand the code just now. And it works!
I have 2 more things to ask:
1) You have an idea how to give to a another or multiple fields of table 2 some specific values? Now i just added to one field some value.
2) And then I would like to Popup this record. I just worked it out using last(), but maybe there is a different way to do it.let t := this let newRec := (create Studypoints) newRec.(StatsWoche := t); popupRecord(last(select Studypoints)); -
to modify other fields in the newly created record you do:
let t := this let newRec := (create Studypoints) newRec.(StatsWoche := t; field2 := t.field2; field3 := t.field3); popupRecord(newRec);If you want to pop up the record you just recreated then just reference the variable of the new record.

Thank you so much!! Its so simple :-)

is there also a way, after pop up the record, to open some N:1 field to get the pop up to search the matching record, which will be selected manually. I want to reduce any mouse-clicks with this script.

I want to reduce any mouse-clicks with this script.I don't understand what you are asking? Please break down the question into steps so I can try to figure out the process.

I am sorry, i will simplify it:
After this script, i have created a new record and also has popup-ed and now i would like that this field (in the screenshot) is opened to search. Like as i would click on the magnifier. The script should replace the action of clicking it with the mouse.

To the best of knowledge there is no way to tell Ninox to go to a specific field in a form.
-
I just have the idea, that maybe there is a way with javascript, but using GetElementById and then trigger this element with a simulated mouseclick.
