Did I miss it

I'm wondering if I just missed it with the wealth of info here about dataassist or not, But anyway is there a way with dataassist to insert into multiple tables, one form and such?
When I used to use ADDT they had a insert into two table wizard, that would work under maost circumstances, and a trick of creating two inserts, tying the forms together and setting some triggers. I just started using dataassist and will be using similar features so i'm trying to get ready, are there any solutions or tutorials for doing somthing similar with datassist.
Also I've been trying to find more info on the manage relational data behavior(not sure if that is where i'm going) but I have'nt really found to much to explain that yet.

Any comment's are appreasiated!

yes, you can insert to multiple tables by adding multiple insert record behavior to the page.

Open the server Behaviors panel (Window -> Server Behaviors), click the plus button and select DataAssist -> Insert -> Single Record Insert.


On the first page of the insert record behavior, Look in the session variable section, make sure the Primary Column for your table is selected in the Key Column and make note of the "Store As" setting. A session variable with the name set in the Store As section will be created when the record is inserted with the ID of new record.

On the second page of the insert behavior, select each column, click the lightning bolt next to value and select the corresponding form element from the dynamic data bindings.

when adding the second insert behavior, you can use the session variable created by the first behavior in the relationship column of the second table.

Thanks Jason!
Would that work the same way if you wanted to insert from the same form, would you just make sure they are both in one form and set the primary to make session and that to the id of the next?
