Jay16 Create multiple child records from parent button
Hi,
I could really use some guidence on a current problem I'm faced. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have 2 custom objects with a master detail relationship: parent__c and child__c.
A Parent__c record contains information for 4 payments. Chilld__c will be the recipt for each individual payment.
What I want is for a user to be able to press a button on the parent and create 4 new child records. Each child record will be a recipt for one of the 4 payments.
Can anyone tell me how this can be achieved?
So far I've seen similar examples using Apex, Flows, Custom Controllers, VF pages and more. All of them are fine, I just don't know which would be most appropriate.
Thanks in advance.

The most appropriate approach is to create a visualforce page with standard controller as parent__c and add a controller extension class which performs your operation of creating 4 child__c records. Then, create a custom button with this visualforce page as the content. Here is an example of the extension: http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/27360/create-a-button-in-vf-page-that-creates-a-new-case-with-certain-record-type

You can write an apex class and create 4 child record in this class. Create a custom button on parent object with created apex class.
Thanks for your help with this. Much appreciated.
