How can I add a record to a related list with ATF

[mike275]

I have a custom app that has 2 tables.  One table is a one-to-many table.

In ATF, I have a test that adds a record to the parent table.

How do I then add a test step to open a form for the child record and carry on from there?

In other words, how do I make ATF click the "New" button below so I can make it set values on that form?

I am assuming that your child form has a field which is a reference to the parent.

I am assuming that when you click the "New" button, it opens the child form, and the parent field is auto-populated. 

To test creation of a child record, use an "Open a New Form" step immediately followed by a "Set Field Values". The "Set Field Values" will specify the value of the parent by referencing the test step that created the parent record.

I don't want to have a field on the child form for the parent.

I can't set the value with ATF if the field is not on the form and editable, but I don't want my end-users to be able to muck with it.
