SAVE_CHILDREN within Related Issue Layouts
{SAVE CHILDREN: layoutName}
This action allows the rules to save all child issues, without saving the parent issue. This action is typically used when layoutName is a layout type that is composed with EDIT_RID_xxxxx as the type. These layouts often contain a series of questions held in child issues. which belong to a survey. This action allows all the related children to the parent (i.e. the questions within a survey) to be saved with a single action on the parent issue.
SAVE CHILDREN with EDIT_RID layouts
When a configuration utilizes EDIT_RID layouts, there is a use case where you might want to only save the current child issue, and not all the child issues which exist within the parent issue. There may potentially be hundreds of child issues, and it would take quite some time to save all these child issues. In this case, use the syntax:
{SAVE CHILDREN: EDIT_RID_CURR_ID}
where EDIT_RID_CURR_ID refers to only the ID of the current issue being edited within the EDIT_RID layout.
