Linking two forms as Parent - Child

Users
1

Hi All,

I have an app with two forms:

  • Group registration
  • Member registration

Given the characteristic of our enterprise when we form a group we are not
able to tell exactly how many members are going to participate in it, hence
we created a second, updatable, form to capture present and new members.

What I would like to have is a parent - child relationship with these two
forms. "Group registration" will register a group ID and be the parent
while "Member registration" will be the child and link each member to it's
parent group using the group ID.

Any suggestion on how to create this relationship?

Thank you very much!

Hi Alberto,

We have a concept in CommCare that lines up well with your needs. In your
group module, you can open a "Child Case", which opens a case into another
module.

You can then configure the Child module to require the user to first select
a parent before proceeding, which will filter for only children of the
provided parent

Thank you Clayton_Sims for this. But for my case : I have a for registering a HIV client main case . A female HIV client can be registered to prevention from mother to child program (Case Child Level 1). This can be done as a child to the client main case. Now I am wondering how to proceed when she will have a baby because, a baby is also followed as a subcase (case Child Level 2).
I will appreciate your support.

Hi Emeric,

The "Child" case relationship in CommCare can go down as many levels as needed, so Child Cases can have Child cases as their own.
