Hi again
I am trying to make an action that allows me to make a sidejob before continuing the main process. Let me express the idea with a bakery recipe. (As some of you will remember, it is actually paint mixing but cooking or baking recipes might be easier to understand).
So, lets suppose I am following a recipe on my app where I am tracking every step. The recipe calls for 4 measure of flour, 2 of sugar, 1 measure of milk, 2 eggs and half a measure of "flavour mix", a secret ingredient of the brand, which might very well be just a combnation of the same ingredients, as to not have everybody know the "secret formula". Certain day, I, the boss, am following the recipe but I suddenly notice I ran out of the "flavor mix", so I have to accomplish that first, and i want to make enough for the whole batch, not only the current mixture.
The app has 3 leveled tables: batch, cake and cake_detail. So, I am in the middle of the making of Vanilla Cake, Batch 1, Unit 1 (ID: VC-01-01), but the emergency makes me to start the process of Vanilla Cake Mix with the date of today (CK-0925). After I accomplish both processes, my 3 tables should look like this:
I have tried with varios action types and with inputs but they dont work. I still do not grasp exactly how actions and the system generated forms work. I would suppose what I need is
- an action "add a new row to this table"
- an action "set some colums in this row" for the part of table Batch (as most of the info is the same as in the main process)
- an action - an action "add a new row to table" Products
- an action "set some colums in this row" for the part of table Product (as most of the info is the same as in the main process)
- fill in manually the data for the third table
- have a way to be back where I started.
Is there something I am missing, not seeing, or doing wrong?
