Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. As a part of the upgrade, Appian Community is currently in read-only mode, and user registration is disabled until August 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I am trying to use a create new record action to insert a new record into my table and based on the grid I am showing to the user they only can see records associate to an related record. I would like to be able to pass in the primary key for that parent record into the record action so I can default that field to use that value and not allow the user to associate to a different parent on accident. It is possible that there is not data in the grid but I would still know the primary key of the parent record to pass in.

The trick is, to make that "Create Child Item" action not a record list action of the child record, but a related action of the parent record. Then you know the parent.
This was the solution! Thank you Stefan!
