Bug Description

On OpenERP 6.1, in the web client when I create a new marketing campaign and try to add a new activity, I have to first save the campaign.

--> The campaign should be saved when trying to create a new activity (as in Sales Order when we want to add new sales order lines)

If I save the campaign, I can add a first activity BUT... when I want to define a second one that has for incoming activity the first one, it is impossible.

I have to save my second activity, save my campaign. Then I should go back to editing mode for my campaign, go to edit my activity to define the incoming activity.

--> It should be possible to do this without having to save everything one time and reedit the elements.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new marketing campaign
- Add a new activity without saving the campaign
--> Problem!

- Save the campaign
- Add once again the activity
--> It works

- Add a second activity
- Define the first activity as incoming activity of the second activity
--> Problem!

Thanks but it only works partially.

We can now create new activities without having to save the marketing BUT it is still not possible to add incoming transition.

Hi,

This is unfortunately a limit of the OpenERP framework at the moment, and we can't implement a clean solution for this.
Either you should create all the activities first, then save, then link them with transitions, or you should design the campaign using the diagram view, which may offer a more user-friendly interface.

If we extend the OpenERP framework to better support creating sibling records and linking them in the future, we might be able to improve this, so let's keep this bug open as Wishlist.

Thanks,
