Embed form in details template of other form and auto-populate parent field?

[Kaylakaze]

I have a custom template for the details of my "Projects" view and would like to embed my "Project Files" form into it, so that files can be added to that project, but I can find a way to automatically assign the "parent" element (a hidden databasejoin to the Projects table) to the Project I'm currently viewing, since the {fabrik view=form} syntax doesn't seem to allow for assigning from there. Anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this?

say you project files list has a project_id element (full name 'project_files___project_id') which stores a reference to the project id, then your form content plugin placeholder code would be:

{fabrik view=form formid=X project_files___project_id=[rowid]}

[rowid] is replaced with the Project's details id value.

Oh! I was hoping that'd be the case but the Content plugin documentation doesn't mention that. Thank you!

Edit: That works for setting the variable, unfortunately, it still submits via Ajax so file uploading doesn't work.
