Hi Sean,

�

A couple of questions.�

Is the document you're working with really a response document? (i.e. has it got the $Ref field)
If it has is the value correct?
If it isn't a response then that will be the reason it doesn't work. You may need to set the Form design to make sure that documents created using it are responses.

As a general rule I am switching away from using response documents in XPages. The overhead of looking up values using views is low enough that I prefer the flexibility of having everything as a "normal" document that just has references stored on it by me if I want some pseudo relational behaviour in my XPages.

Answer:

I use and like response documents because I like NotesDocument.getResponses() rather than rely on yet another view.

To answer your need: I think you'll need to instead use currentDocument.getDocument().getParentDocumentUNID()

�

currentDocument isn't a NotesDocument object, it's a NotesXspDocument object which is an xpages-specific wrapper around the NotesDocument.� I don't know what currentDocument.getParentId() returns but I expect it refers to either the collection of NotesXSPDocument objects used on the page or whatever is above it in the XPages object model.

Question: I want to show data from a parent document alongside the data on a response document. I am trying to use currentDocument.getParentId() as the hook back to the parent from the response. When I use currentDocument.getParentId() at the time of creating the response document it has a value but when I open the response document later it has no value. The document is definitely a response and I get the same behaiour in a copy of the "new discussion" template. IBM help http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/i...
