Interface to create record and related records

Question

I was reading this article, creating records and related records using a process model , and I wondered if the code for the form interface, Case, referred to in the article is available on the Appian Community for reference. 
 I'm working on a form (proof-of-concept) which has a similar structure as the Case form, i.e. a base record type and an editable grid of related record type on the form.

Hello JWong , I am not sure if the exact same interface is available anywhere. But you can take a look at SAIL Recipes . and also you can look at how an editable grid is created. Add, Edit, and Remove Data in an Inline Editable Grid . Here instead of using the local variable with map, you can use the variable with your record type. in the items for looping use the same variable with indexing your related record type. {

} You can replace the rule input with your record type which has a one to many relationship and try modifying the above code a little.
