How to distinguish between 1st, 2d and 3d level auto generated forms?

Hi community

I have 3 tables in a grandparent - parent - child relationship. Each of them has its own view and a form of its own So far so good. Now I want to include a button to trigger an action in the child form, but I realize that when I navigate from table 1 to 3 the system is not using my forms, but system generated forms. How can I place a button in the last level of these forms? 

FORM level 1

FORM LEVEL 2 (by clicking on "New) (name of this form does not change)

FORM LEVEL 3 (by clicking on "New) (name of form is still the same)

I want to have an action button on the right low of the 3d form

Please post such questions in the "Q&A" section.

I believe what you are looking for is not currently available. With "IsPartOf' children forms, the forms are opened as part of the parent form.  The information is not available to the backend till the parent form is saved which save both parent and child forms( records) to the backend.

In a way , this is a good arrangement because if the user wishes to cancel after entering a few fields in the child form, she can do so without even parent form being saved.

You could have an approach implemented that take the user step by step from parent form to children forms by using form save event actions. But the disadvantage will be grandparent form and thereafter parent form and thereafter grandchild forms will be saved in stages to the backend.
