[PRO] Relationship with inline_create inside Relationship with inline_create does not work

[skpr-repo]

Bug report

What I did

I have

• table USERS
• table PHONES
• table MODELS

USER has many PHONES Each PHONE belongs to only one USER Each PHONE belongs to only one MODEL (Apple, Samsung, ecc)

Inside the UserCrudController -> setupCreateOperation I created a relationship field with inline_create and subfields to add phones.

One of the subfields is a relationship with inline_create and subfields (inception!).

What I expected to happen

I would like to use a relationship field that let me add phones to users and a model to each phone, with inline creation in both steps.

What happened

It shows the "add" button inside the second relationship (phone > models), but nothing happens.

What I've already tried to fix it

If I add a relationship without inline_create and subfields, the select2 appears and it works, but I have to add models before adding phones.

Probably I'm pushing the relationship field beyond it's limit. But it would be nice to have such a feature.

Maybe there is another way to achieve the same result?

Hello @skpr-repo please provide you relationship definition and your field definition in the Controller so that we can have a better look of what you are trying to achieve.

Hello. I just made an example, my table names and fields are different, so I summarized the main concept of the three tables involved and the error I get.

The question is: is it possible to have a relationship with inline_create and subfields inside another relationship with inline_creation and subfields? If it's not possible, ok, no further inspection is needed.

If it's possible, then maybe I found a bug or maybe I'm doing something wrong. In this case a further inspection could be needed and I will provide all the code :-)

Thanks

The relationship with inline_create shows a repeatable with a list of fields. And it does not work inside another relationship/repeatable. But for what I need, it could work with a select2 + popup that creates new entries into the related table and then selects it, once created.

I will be closing this as it's known that repeatable over repeatable (relationships with subfields are repeatables) does not work .

You can:

• Have a repeatable with inline_create.
• Have inline_create with a repeatable inside You cannot
• Have a repeatable inside another repeatable (for now ... it's something I want to work, but it's not going to be that soon I guess)

Apart from the unsuported feature, if you have any other issue please open a new ticket so that we can have a look at it.

Cheers
