Summary: For two connected tables on a many:many relationship, create a button which allows notations to be associated with the selected record. The many:many relationship means a single record can have many notations, or a single notation can have many records.
This script is part of a system set up in the Markush demo data set in order to add annotations to inventions. This allows the notes on the inventions to be viewed per invention, or the see all the inventions linked to a single annotation. This particular script is a button to be placed on the Inventions form. The Inventions table has a many:many relationship with the Notes table based on ID. This allows the Notes table to be a child table to the Inventions table.
The script works by building an array of existing notations and putting them in a combo box, or offering a text box to input a new notation. New notations are inserted into the Notes table, and the ID returned. Existing notations are already associated with their ID. The script then makes a relationship between the two IDs. On the Inventions form itself, you can select an invention and see all the notations. If you have also turned the Notes table into a dataTree by putting Inventions as an edge, you can then set up a form which allows you to select notations, and see all associated Inventions. The dataTree structure dictates how the data can be viewed. This system can be used to add notations to any type of information based on the row's ID.
