Although the script is successfully fetching data from a child table (namely Measurement Table) which is in a parent doctype (namely Measurements), but there are some flaws I am unable to rectify:
- After I press the button and the modal dialog window pops up, the link quickly field fetches all saved Measurements in the
MeasurementsDoctype, but once I select one among many different items in the link field, it still fetches data from all other saved Measurements and brings them into the table. (Not only the one I selected but all that are saved in the doctype). - This data from everything saved in the
Measurementsdoctype is inserted in the table multiple times on top of one another (although I selected only one item in the link field). - Surprisingly it also fetches from seemingly deleted (which are not there in the doctype) Measurements too (which is quite weird).
These are the 3 main problems I am getting with this script. I would be thankful for help from the developers here.
Moreover, I am also unable to filter the link field to match with the customer selected in the Sales Order at that time, tried to use the filter in the frappe.client.get_list but that gives an error.
