I use custom routing with custom forms on custom site pages for users. Here I use dialogs for buttons in the parent form that open other child forms. No problems here. Context: These forms are user-friendly with instructions and take into account the flow of data entry.
For admins, I use the All Users version of forms (i.e., straight from the standard SP list), and these are set to open as panels. I have a standard New form for Contacts, and within that I want to have a button for Contact Addresses that would just open up the standard panel for New Contact Addresses. However, I cannot figure out the code to open a second panel over the original. I want to add new addresses on that child panel, save it, and then close the child panel and continue to show the parent Contact panel for the admin to then save that. Context: Here, these forms are just meant for the admin to quickly add things or correct things without the need for user-friendly forms.
Is this possible?
