Passing data between two data types

Need help
1

I’ve create a dashboard where users can add a BIKE with it’s details. I have a button on the repeating group of BIKES where I can add SERVICES linked to that bike. I have experimented with this set up multiple times and can’t come to a conclusion because I have a two step process.

  1. Add SERVICES: this changes the state, adds a new record for SERVICES with BIKE linked, and pulls up a form

  2. Form inputs for SERVICES are completed by the user and the Save Services button is press.

In the Workflow of #2, I use Make Changes to SERVICES, but I cannot correctly identify the SERVICES record I created in #1. I’ve thought about finding the record by the most recent created, but couldn’t figure that out.

How do I link the BIKE in that repeating group to the completed SERVICES form? If I create a new SERVICES record in #2 then I haven’t been able to relate it to the BIKE record chosen in #1. I have a relationship set up in the Data Types but the process of passing the BIKE ID into the SERVICES record when saving the SERVICE record is confusing me because they are obviously different data types so I can’t seem to save SERVICES while bringing in the BIKE ID. There’s a many: 1 relationship between SERVICES:BIKES.

Thanks.

Figured it out based on this post! I just needed to find a group that already referenced the other data type in the new data type form. Just took me 6 hours to figure that out. :crazy_face:
