childGetMetadata

Summary

The purpose of the childGetMetadata` method is to acquire metadata associated with child objects within a parent object hierarchy. This metadata is essential for comprehensive validation, precise binding to screen controls, and accurate display and manipulation of child object properties within the parent screen context.

Imagine a scenario where you manage supplier information on a main screen, and within this context, you might incorporate a grid tab to showcase a list of suppliers. Despite the absence of a traditional child dialog, the need for child object metadata remains pertinent to ensure the correct functioning of these objects, allowing for effective management and interaction, even beyond dialog-based scenarios.
