Hi!
I’m developing an app that uses child DocTypes, but with sometimes quite a bit of fields.
Only having them in the table of the parent DocType is a bit cumbersome. I’ve seen the “edit” button next to the row and I expected it to open a modal where I can manage the complete child DocType entry, but it doesn’t do anything.
Could that be a bug or am I understanding something wrong here? Or do I need to setup something else?
Thanks!
Dennis
When you click the pencil icon in a child table row, it should open a dialog with all editable fields. If your pencil icon is not doing this, it suggests a misconfiguration.
In the child doctype there is a setting checkbox “Editable Grid”. If you disable this, clicking any field in the row will open the same dialog box that should’ve opened via the pencil icon.
Thanks. Disabling “Editable Grid” does nothing at all as well when I click the row. I guess it’s some hickup in the DocTypes, because I was kinda rewriting the structure after they’ve already been created and had data.
I’ll recreate the DocTypes and check if the error occurs again.
Hm. No, didn’t work. And now I see, that I get a stack trace in the browser console:
Uncaught TypeError: df is undefined

Apparently it can’t find a specific field.
Ahhh, I got it. I’ve been stacking two childs onto another and I guess, that’s what the tree option is for, right?
So you can only have one parent with one child but not another child underneath that child.
Hm. Is there any documentation about the tree option? I find none and it looks complicated…
Yes, you can’t nest child tables.
The tree structure allows you to create parent child relationships between two documents of the same Doctype. For reference see Item Group or Department Doctypes in ERPNext.
Yes, the tree is the right way to implement a document hierarchy in Frappe, but if you simply want to store a distinct structured dataset inside child table entries, refer to the workaround here: Is there anyway I can add child table inside a child table?
Thanks!
