Are you using Itinerary DocType (which doesn’t has is_child_table ticked) as a Table field in Event Doctype?
True, the itinerary doctype is not child table.
Only child table DocType can be linked to a Table field in another DocType.
I’ve tried that before and I tried it now again.
Dive guide doctype - child_table
Itinerary doctype - child_table
The result is this error in the browser console:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'fields' of undefined

Earlier I put Dive guide doctype as a normal doctype… I refreshed the event and the table multi select worked.
After I refreshed the event to test it again, it didn’t work anymore.
Such a weird thing haha
Keep on being a pain on this subject …
As communicated, the current frappe form does not support 3 tier doctypes: main doctype-child doctype-grand child doctype, because on backend(python side) the base document.py hard coded the CRUD(Create/Read/Update/Delete) logic for the main doctype’s child records only .
To fix your reported issue, I am trying to create a new LinkMultiSelect base on existing TableMultiSelect.
Yeah, let’s see if we can find a work around. I am very happy to sponsor a new type of field as long as we make erpnext more flexible.
Finally I created another new MultiLinkSelect control which now can be used in child table also
this new control is derived from Link ,
, the options in doctype definition is same as Link field’s options, no need to create a separate doctype with at least one link field to be created for MultiTableSelect field/control.
the field is a kind of normal data field field with multi selected linked name separated by comma as the content, see below
in conclusion, this new control is simple and straight forward compared to TableMultiSelect.

Hey @szufisher
I can’t seem to find Link Multiselect in my form types. Here’s what I’ve tried:
- I’ve double-checked making all the changes shown on feat: new field type Link multi select by szufisher · Pull Request #8832 · frappe/frappe · GitHub
- Run bench build
- Run bench restart
- Run bench update --patch
- Clear cache with Fn + F5 / Settings > Reload
- Login with different user and browser
good,if possible please upvote the PR.
