Adding Loan Preparations does not show "add items" dialog in default forms

[grantfitzsimmons]

When using the default Loan form (defined in the common.views.xml file), it renders the Loan Preparations in a "table" view rather than a grid. When in this view, the add button does not show the 'add items' dialog that shows when the type is not specified.

Form definition that does offer the ability to add preps from a record set or list of identifiers:

                     <cell type="subview" viewname="LoanItems" id="LoanItems" name="loanPreparations" defaulttype="table" colspan="15" rows="4"/>
                </row>

@grantfitzsimmons or @bronwyncombs, would you have the name of a db and collection that you know has the pop up dialog when clicking on + to add loan preparation?

You just need to change the definition to look like this in any database:

                <row>
                     <cell type="subview" viewname="LoanItems" id="LoanItems" name="loanPreparations" defaulttype="table" colspan="15" rows="4"/>
                </row>
