Link Child Record to Parent Record

[duncant]

I'm having a little trouble getting a child table in the Dataverse to link to the Parent record.  When submitting a form in PowerApps, what would be the way to go about linking the child to the parent record?

Thank You @dpoggemann.

My issue now lies with getting the autonumber from the created Parent entity.

Hi @duncant,

What do you mean on this question, sorry, don't understand...  You will have the GUID on the child entity as a lookup to the parent, not the autonumber field of the parent n the child.

Am I misunderstanding your question?

Thanks,

Drew

@dpoggemann correct.  I will have a GUID for the child record(s), but I will not have the Parent GUID.  I guess my question is how do I get the Parent records GUID?
