Adding new child record error: No Parent Selected Yet [message #1044]

Independent tables are GRANTS and STAFF. Dependent table is GRANT_STAFF. The GRANT_STAFF screen has two popups, one for Grants and one for Staff. I can correctly display and edit records with my div_grant_staff(list2) and my div_grant_staff(upd1) tasks/screens.

Problem: Adding a new record.
When I select New from the div_grant_staff(list2) task/screen I get a blank form/screen for my div_grant_staff(add2) task. (Looks good!). On this screen the parent GRANT is already entered (nice) and the name of the grant is displaying appropriately (as a popup should). The Staff person is not yet selected and we see the familar >> popup button.

When I click on the button to select staff I get the message
"No parent has yet been selected".

Where is this discussed?

What pattern is the popup which generates the "No parent has yet been selected" message? Is it POPUP1 or POPUP2?

POPUP2
My task is div_grantstaff_staff2(popup2).
My scriptID is grantstaff_staff2(popup2).php

It should be obvious then that a POPUP2 function, which is modelled on a LIST2 function, requires the identity (primary key) of an occurrence of the outer entity before it can retrieve occurrences of the inner entity. Please refer to the following for two possible solutions:

Mmmmm... Perhaps I should be using POPUP1...
The task here is to select a STAFF person from a popup of ALL staff persons. I will test this approach.

That is why you need to think before you decide which pattern to use. The difference between a POPUP1 and a POPUP2 is the same as the difference between a LIST1 and a LIST2.
