Calc the number of related records

[Ed Bettencourt]

I know a parent form can display the number of related records attached to it, but is there a way to calc in a field in a parent record the number of related records that are attached to it? Reason I need to do this is because I need to create a saved search for all parent records that have at least one related record. Or if there’s another better way to do this, I’m game for whatever will accomplish the goal here. Thanks.

Hi Ed,

I’m sorry but there’s no way to do that in Tap Forms right now. You would need to maintain a separate field outside your linked form that contains the number of records in the child form.

Thanks,

Hi Brendan,

I was searching a solution to this when I found this thread. Any plans to implement this in the near future?

Thanks,

It’s not on my near-term to-do list yet. Sorry. I do see the need for it. It requires me to modify the math parser built-in to Tap Forms to support linked records and aggregate calculations. Not a small undertaking, so I just haven’t had time to dig into it yet.
