Transfer information to the next form when adding records using query combobox.

[maxpatiiuk]

If the user specifies any information in a field and then presses the + (Add) button, a new form will be opened, yet the information user has entered will be deleted

This bug is fixed in Specify 6. For example, if there is text in the Agent field, it gets transferred into Last Name field on a new form

This applies to all fields that have + (Add) button near them

Same problem with Search window

@maxpatiiuk Is this implemented?

[maxpatiiuk]

Looks like it was implemented to transfer the value only when the "Add" entry in the suggestions list was selected.
I extended it now to also work when the add icon is pressed

For future reference, it puts the pending value into the first non-relationship field from the list of typeSearch searchFields.

Does not seem to be working either way at the moment (Security Panel)

Or with Locality (CE form)

Works fine for me:

Maybe the server hasn't yet updated when you tried it. Can you test this again?
