CreateInsert Not Working on Child Task Flow

Question

JDev version :: 11.1.2.3
I have a parent Task Flow 'A1' which uses Data Control 'D1'
Another Task Flow 'A2' which uses Data Control 'D2'
I navigate from Task Flow A1 to A2 and does createInsert for a VO named 'X' and then Loads
the page. The Page does not opens in a CreateInsert Mode.
However If i run the Task flow A2 directly , it does open in CreateInsert Mode.
Can anyone tell me what can be the issue ?

Answer 1

Hi,
from my understanding of your post which you have been made. i did that same it's working.
with your requirement, i did that same.
things which i used.
1. one jspx page named simple.jspx.
2. 3 Bounded TF named it as (common-taskflow,task-flow,task-flow1).
3. 2 jsff(view,view1).
4. one backing bean.
5. two datacontrol
here i posted the code.
sample.jspx this will consume your common-taskflow as static region

picture will be like this

create insert for task-flow-defintion1(folds of view1.jsff. this view1.jsff folds of emp table). while invoking TF create insert works.

  </af:panelFormLayout>
</jsp:root>
this  view1.jsff folds just emp table as af:form. nothing in this.
logic flows into common taskflow.
if i misunderstood your requirement please correct me.
Thanks
