Hope this is the right place to post this question. I have not found an answer anywhere else, after much searching.
Basically, I would like to implement a master-detail form, and would like to know if there are plugins that will support this, or whether I need to do some coding.
Each master form (a content type) may have one or more detail forms (presumably another content type). I would like the user to be able to manage the detail records in the same screen, or on the same page at the very least. The user would be adding, modifying and deleting the detail records.
A detail record would not exist by itself - each would have exactly one parent or master record.
By way of a more concrete example, suppose the master content type is "adult" and the detail content type is "child". For each "adult" there could be some "child" records. Each child would have a number of fields: name, sex, age. A child in this case could not be added to the system without an adult parent being added first.
There appear to be older plugins for Drupal 5 and 6 that do this type of thing, but they are all well deprecated. I just cannot see a way to do it in Drupal 7 using plugins.
Thanks,
