Master and detail in the same page

Question

db11xe , apex 4.0 , firefox 24 ,
hi all ,
i am trying to insert the master and detail data in one step in the same page :
i have two tables (clients) and (tests_administered)
the client table's region contains theses items
client_id
client_name
the other table's region contains these columns -- the tabular region
row selector
test_admin_id -- pk,  hidden
client_id          -- hidden , this is the one i should populate with values
and more columns
i've done this :
1- removed the condition of the tabular region .
2- Added the request CREATE to the list in condition of the APPLYMRU process -- or :request like ('CREATE')
3- Added new process with following code : -- with sequence before the applymru process and after process row of clients process
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f02.count
loop
apex_application.g_f02(i) := :p2_client_id ;
end loop ;
but nothing happened . why ? what did i miss ?
thanks

Hi,
Create a Master Detail Form through the APEX Wizard 
Make sure you choose the Primary Keys for the Master Detail as one of your Column and not the ROW ID.
Selecting an existing Sequence for the Primary Key is preferred.
Select the option the where your Master and Detail appears in the same page.
Initially when you run the page your master and detail will not appear at the same time in the page when your Master Detail Form is in the entry form mode. For this you have to go to your Tabular Form(Detail Form) region, and below you will have to remove the Condition for the display of your Tabular form and set it to “No Condition”.
Now when you run the page both the Master and Detail form will appear together in the create mode but you will not be able to insert or create both master and detail records at the same time when u click the create button. For this the following needs to be done: You need to create a PL SQL Tabular Form process :
Let's say your master form is based on DEPT and your detail tabular form is based on EMP. Make sure the following things are configured:
The DEPT insert/update DML process runs before the new tabular form PLSQL process. (ie) the new PL SQL Tabular Form Process that you create should be inbetween Automatic Row Processing(DML) and Multi Row Update Process , so create the new Tabular Form Pl SQL process with a sequence number inbetween these two Processes.
Make sure you choose Tabular form while creating this PL SQL process.
The new tabular form PL/SQL process executes the following as the source
   :DEPTNO := :P1_DEPTNO;
Where DEPTNO is the Foreign Key column in the Tabular Form that links the Primary Key Item P1_DEPTNO of the Master Form.
Finally this new PL SQL process conditionally runs when DEPTNO is null, so you need to add the following condition to the process:
The final step to accomplish in creating both the Master and Detail records at the same time is to make a change in the condition of the Multi Row Update Process. :request in ('SAVE','CREATE') or :request like 'GET_NEXT%' or :request like 'GET_PREV%'
-We make this change so that records get inserted into the Detail table when we click the ‘’Create” button.
Now you can Run your page and create both the Master and Detail records at the same time.
Thanks and Regards,
