Hot Fields

[rupertvz]

Hi Guys,

I have a field value (String(40)) in a NetWebBrowse that I'd like to use as a DISPLAY field in a subsequent child NetWebForm.

I added the field to the hot-field section of the Parent browse, but in the subsequent child-NetWebForm the value is blank, (I am priming the value).

I also tried adding the field into the parent browse (The value is displayed while browsing)
However, when clicking insert on the child browse, the value in the form is blank.

Does this "hot-field" need a key?

As a matter of interest, I am using the primary key of the parent browse in the child form, and the value is accessible.

Not sure what could be different with this field?
Same table, just another field ...

Will appreciate any ideas.
Regards, Rupert

Hi Rupert,

my understanding is that the hot field simply adds the field to the view. So if you want to use it in a child form you would need to fetch it again based on the parent ID.
