Hello all
I have a question.

I have a one to many relathionship, imagine
Order - Items
When I view an item, i can easily show the order name in the grid and in the form (to associate an item with an order)

What if I want to show also the date of the order, or other fields of the order.

I don't really care to be able to edit these fields, I just want them to be visible so that a user knows some details from the parent entity, without having to open the entity

Panos

I know EXACTLY what you mean, but it is still not supported. Many users told me to give them a way to do it, but it is not so simple. I have it mind for a future feature. I didn't write it though in http://www.grocerycrud.com/crud/view/future_features ( I just wrote ... more complex relations ) because it will take a long time to do something like this , and I don't like to give fault hopes to the users that perhaps will be in a next version.
