[Solved] Need to capture an extra field to insert a record

[David Waldock]

In my app, we have a RadGrid with a Master Table showing Purchase Orders (associated with a Project), plus a Detail Table showing the allocation of funds (Budgets) from a Purchase Order to various Subprojects

In order to add a new Purchase Order effectively, we also need to capture a Subproject, and I wondered if it's possible to have a field which is captured in the AddNew mode, but is hidden for Edit and List views?

Any ideas?

Hi David,

You could create your own CustomEditForm wherein you can add any number of fields although those are not displayed on the grid. Check out the following online demo and help document which will explain this better:

That's great thank you. Seems like a forest/trees problem with Telerik sometimes: so many features that you can't see them all!
