Frappe Framework Customization
1

may i know how to generate random or composite unique key values for name field of child table

i asked this when i try to insert values to student batch student table

frappe.db.sql("""insert intotabStudent Batch Student (parent,student,parentfield,parenttype,student_name,name) values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)""",(student_batch,id,"students","Student Batch",st_name))

i was getting an error

before i was using this code

                # doc = frappe.get_doc({
		# 			"doctype": "Student Batch Student",
		# 			"parent": student_batch,
		# 			"parentfield":"students",
		# 			"parenttype":"Student Batch",
		# 			"student_name":name,
		# 			"student": id

		# 	})
		# if doc.insert():
		# 	return 'success'

but this code runs only once if it is in for loop

and i was getting an error in terminal

Maybe because the value of name (student) field is same every time?

above is js side which calls below function on server side

def check_for_duplicate(stud_id,student_batch):
	duplicate_student_list = []
	for id in json.loads(stud_id):
		if frappe.db.get_list("Student Batch Student",filters={"parent":student_batch,"student":id},fields=['student','student_name']):
				frappe.msgprint("Some Students are already exist in the selected batch.Please remove them and try again.")
				duplicate_student_list.append(id)
	return duplicate_student_list

@frappe.whitelist()
def add_selected_student_to_childtable(stud_id,stud_name,student_batch):
	# used if else because of reload method in js it will reload even we perform frappe.throw
	if not (check_for_duplicate(stud_id,student_batch)):
		for id,st_name  in zip(json.loads(stud_id),json.loads(stud_name)):
			# complex_name = id_generator()
			print frappe.db.sql("""insert into `tabStudent Batch Student` (`parent`,`student`,`parentfield`,`parenttype`,`student_name`) values (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)""",(student_batch,id,"students","Student Batch",st_name))
			# doc = frappe.get_doc({
			# 			"doctype": "Student Batch Student",
			# 			"parent": student_batch,
			# 			"parentfield":"students",
			# 			"parenttype":"Student Batch",
			# 			"student_name":name,
			# 			"student": id

			# 	})
			# if doc.insert():
			# 	return 'success'
	return "duplicate"

this is the entire code

The proper way to insert child table values in a doc is

doc = frappe.get_doc('Student Batch', batch_name)
doc.append('students', {
  'student_name': name,
  'student': id
})
doc.save()
