I am updating an existing Helix collection. I am
new to Helix, but I think I have the hang of it,
except for one thing.

Imagine a relation that contains parts that a
company uses. Each row has the part name and the
number of parts that they have. Currently they can
go into each record and change the quantity for a
particular part. Now, however, they want a
transaction log of changes. So there is a
transaction log which we want to contain the
number before the change and the number after the
change (and who changed it, but that is irreleva
nt to this discussion).

What I set up on the form that they used to do the
changes was this:
I replaced the entry box for quantity with an
abacus that provides the existing quantity and an
inert field. So when they edit it, they are
editing the inert field, which was initialized by
the abacus to the amount that is already in that
record. I then created two Posts. The first one
copies the info into the transaction log along
with the previous value. The second one posts the
inert field value back into the parts relation to
update the quantity.

The problem:
In the form setup window, under Data Entry, it
only lets me select one of the two Posts. When I
select either one, it grays out the other one so I
can't select it to post as well. I cannot find any
documentation on why this would be happening.


Thanks for any help
