Batch Processing Subform Data


The relationship between a subform and its parent worksheet is an implicit relationship. However, it is different from the association created through a relationship field.

How to Retrieve Subform Data​

To retrieve subform data, you must first obtain the parent worksheet record and then retrieve the subform records associated with that record.

For example, to retrieve the order details stored in a subform of an order record, use the Get Multiple Data node and select Get Associated Records to retrieve the corresponding subform data.

How to Batch Add Data to a Subform​

Subforms can be divided into two types:

  • Subforms with an entity worksheet
  • Subforms without an entity worksheet (created from a blank subform)

When a workflow automatically creates records, you must specify the target worksheet where the data will be added. Therefore, a subform without an entity worksheet cannot be used as a target for automatic data creation through workflows.

A blank subform can be converted into an entity worksheet when needed.

Batch Adding Data to a Subform with an Entity Worksheet​

When batch adding data, a previous workflow node must first obtain the required batch data. The workflow can then use this data to automatically create multiple records in the subform.
