Hi metha,

thanks for the explamation, and how about generating names?, is there any function to do that?..i want to inserting values to another table when a doctype is submited, so i need to generate the name field.

and for inserting we still wil use frappe.db.sql function right?

thanks

To insert new docs, use frappe.get_doc and insert

Never use frappe.db.sql

Hi,

Thanks, this very useful, any way using insert i dont need to put the name , creted date, etc (columns that not defined in doctype but auto generated by frappe) right ?

Thanks

Yes…
Name, creation_date, created_by, modified_by etc will be added automatically by the system via insert() function.
