I am building a structurally complicated record and cannot save it before it is approved.

Could you add an active flag and default it to false. This will allow you to save the record on the first step without it showing up in other views. Then only make it active once it's finished?

Thx, it's always an idea :). However, I am surprised that I can move individual fields in context and I can't somehow pass the entire record

I am building a structurally complicated record and cannot save it before it is approved. Generating a context of each field seems to me not very effective. I would like to transfer it entirely to form as a complete NewId record.

ok, same functionality implemented for as one2many field it handles virtual record at server-side so you can take reference from there

so I basic idea is

1) instead of return <NewID..> convert it to a unique string (client don't care about record id it can be a string)

2) when dialog open it makes a read request with this unique virtual id

3) override read and intercept this virtual id and instead of hitting ORM return read result from a new record (I am not sure how we get a new record in read method but I am sure it's feasible :))

4) on the wizard dialog button click client will try to save this record (here you need to form view to stop sending virtual id)

please post here you need any help on client-side changes. It would be fun :)

Hmm... , interesting concept, I have to think about it
