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
irrelevant 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
