Child Collection create tab - get parent (ID) to insert function

[FelixWerk]

Hi,

When I add a child collection to a collection and press create new entity for this child collection, I want to be able to find from what parent the child is being created, to automatically assign values. e.g. I have a collection of organizations to which I want to add members (the child collection). When I add a member, I want their organization to automatically be assigned. (or to ignore that field because I can assign the value via insert function.)
I'm not 100% sure this is not already possible some way. If you know a way to already achieve my goal please let me know.
Here are some images to better demonstrate what I'm trying to solve:

First I select a company in this case

Then I go to members of this organisation

Create a new member

Now the organization field should no longer be required.

What does you child collection config look like?

I believe you should be able to not bother showing an organization field and given UI builder knows that's your FK property, it should auto populate it with the value.

I think you can either have a constructor on your model that accepts the parent id, or if it can't find one, it should attempt to set the property value after construction.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your response!
I had an organization dropdown that I believe was overriding the value. Removing it indeed makes the auto fill in work :).
