How to create an action to add data to the related list of a form

[Emmeline]

I have an app for users to order products. I have an action on the product view that opens the order form. The order form have a related list of ordered items. 

I would like the productid of the product that I click on to appear in the related list when the form opens.

I think you need three separate actions:

1. Action to save a record in the related table.
2. Action to open the form.
3. A Group action where the two actions above can be itemized.   

The group action will be the one that associated with your product view.

HI Red Vox,

In another app I used linktoform with the following target and it worked find:- LINKTOFORM("Sales","ProductID",[_THISROW])

I want to do something similar but insert the productID in a column of the related list of the form. Is there a way to refer to columns in related list in the linktoform function

You can see the app at the following url to get a better idea of what I am asking
