Hi Frans

I have 3 Tables, company, shop and address. Every address and every shop belongs to an company. The address has a column company which stores the uid of a company (type select in TCA).

A shop has exactly on address, the uid of this address is sores in the column shop.address. I have to provide a select box from which the User can select an address that belongs to se same company as the shop does. So I have to configure an additional WHERE in the foreign_table_where property.
The TCA config for the column shop.address:

'address' => array(
    'exclude' => 1,
    'label' => 'LLL:EXT:mywachau/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_mywachau_domain_model_shop.address',
    'config' => array(
        'type' => 'select',
        'foreign_table' => 'tx_mywachau_domain_model_address',
        'foreign_table_where' => 'AND tx_mywachau_domain_model_address.company=###REC_FIELD_company###',
        'minitems' => 0,
        'maxitems' => 1,
    ),
),

The shops of an company are managed bei a TCA column called shop with the type inline in the TCA for the table company.
The TCA for this column company.shop:

'shop' => array(
            'exclude' => 1,
            'label' => 'LLL:EXT:mywachau/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_mywachau_domain_model_company.shop',
            'config' => array(
                'type' => 'inline',
                'foreign_table' => 'tx_mywachau_domain_model_shop',
                'foreign_field' => 'company',
                'maxitems'      => 9999,
                'appearance' => array(
                    'collapseAll' => 0,
                    'levelLinksPosition' => 'top',
                    'showSynchronizationLink' => 1,
                    'showPossibleLocalizationRecords' => 1,
                    'showAllLocalizationLink' => 1
                ),
                'foreign_unique' => 'type', // a company can only have one shop of a specific type
                'foreign_record_defaults' => array(
                    'company' => '###PARENT_UID###' // my NEW SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
                ),
            ),

        ),

Problem¶

Now if you add a new shop to a company a shop record is created and all controlles are rendered for this record, by an AJAX request. The Problem is that the new created record don't have set the correct foreign key value in the column shop.company. And because of that, an empty list for the address select box is rendered.

If a user want's to add a shop to a company he have to click the Create New Button save the hole company record an only after that he is able to select an address for a shop. Becaus wen the shop record is save for the first time Typo3 of corse writs the correct uid to the column shop.company.
With my ###PARENT_UID### marker I can overcome the problem that an user is force to save a new created inline shop record bevor he really can edit this new shop record.

Ok, but how does this work when you create the shop record?

Updated by Sebastian Mazza over 9 years ago

Wen a new shop record is created and filled with the values provided by the foreign_record_defaults property the marker ###PARENT_UID### is replaced bei the uid of the company the user is currently editing. So when the controls for the new shop record are rendered the correct foreign key value in the column shop.company is already there and the foreign_table_where (AND tx_mywachau_domain_model_address.company=###REC_FIELD_company###) in the address column config can do his job.
The marker ###REC_FIELD_company### in the where clause is replaced by the value of the shop.company which was provided by my ###PARENT_UID### marker previously. ([[http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Reference/Columns/Select/Index.html#foreign-table-where]])

process example for company with the uid: 123


user click on button new shop record.
ajax request
record = new shop(); # create new recod
record[company] = 123; # because the marker ###PARENT_UID### is replaced by the uid of the owning company
:
# render the select for the address column
foreign_table_where = "AND tx_mywachau_domain_model_address.company=123"; # because the marker ###REC_FIELD_company### in "AND tx_mywachau_domain_model_address.company=###REC_FIELD_company###" 
                                                                              is replaced by the the value of record[company] which is 123
execute sql statement, blablabla
=> the address select box contains all addresses with the company uid 123 :-)
return html for the record to the browser

This of course only woks if the company record was saved any time bevor because we ned real uid for it and not only a "NEW123456789.123456789"

other possible solution for my problem:
Always fill up the foreign key column (defined in the foreign_field property of the inline config) with the correct values during record creation and not only when the record is saved for the first time.
