Relationships between forms?

    I've seen this topic appear a couple times in this forum but it's not clear if those old threads are visited. There seems to be some degree of consensus that it'd be a valuable feature addition for MachForm to allow one form to reference another's data.

    A quick use case I'm running into:

    Customer needs to track records of type A -- let's say these records represent office locations, with office title, building number and street address.

    Customer also needs to track records of type B -- let's say these are event records, tracking some kind of billable event, each occurring at one of the locations referenced above.

    Customer would like to be able to set a static list of locations in Form A and reference them when creating records in Form B, without duplicating location data. A select dropdown could be made available that reads title and ID from Form A, and, when used to select a Form A record, records that relationship either directly or in a join table.

    Would there be any interest in developing this sort of feature into MachForm? Possibly a Pro or Business version of MachForm?

    No, not yet. I agree this would be a great feature to have though.
