List View improve "Add New Item" for parent-child forms
If the control "List View" is added to a form, the control has an "Add New Item" link at the bottom. This goes to the New Item form for the list in question. I would like to use this for creating Child records. For example, if the List View control is on an Invoice Header record, I would like "Add new Item" to add a new Invoice Line Item. The link goes to the Invoice Line Item list but it does not set the InvoiceID field in the Invoice Line Item to the correct value automatically. My clients want the right ID to be filled in so they don't have to remember to do that.

Thanks for your suggestion Sheila.
Parent/child relationships between form and another list is something we see from time to time. This is something we will explore when we rebuild the List View control for Universal Forms.
I will update this idea when we begin development on this feature.
Cheers,
Euan

The ability to add items to the list presented in the List View control.
The only way I have managed to achieve this so far is for the users to add attachments, then a workflow to run on save that moves the attachments to the list via web services (one service call to copy, and another calls to delete the originals).
Allowing the user to just add an item in real time would be a much tidier solution.
