I am using a child table that is widely auto-populated and contains a link field. If I click on the link field to get to the document in question, the edit dialog opens up and I have to click on the same document link again.
If you have marked the grid as editable in the child doctype settings, then you should be able to click on the link field within the grid, and a small arrow appears to the right, which you can use to go directly to the linked record (so technically 2 clicks to get there). It requires some dexterity, but at least you don’t have to open the child form.
I know what you mean the check box for the editable grid is indeed checked, but the the dialog is being opend anyways. I want to directly cklick on the doc and be send straight to the linked doc rather than having the dialog inbetween. The same logic is widely found when submitting forms. You usually need to click in the link field and than pursue with the arrow, after submitting you can access the linked doc by just clicking on the name.
You sure can.
If you try to navigate to the linked customer within a quotation draft, you need to click on the small arrow next to the linked customer. Once the quotation has been submitted, you can simply click on the linked customer’s name and the customer master is being loaded right away. And I am looking for exactly that to happen when I click on the linked doc within my child table.
