Auto-attach Child Entries to Parent when Editing via GravityView

By default, when adding a new child entry to a Nested Form field while editing a parent entry via GravityView, the child entry is saved to the session and will not be attached to the parent entry unless you click “Update” on the parent entry form.

Use this snippet to automatically attach the child entry to the parent as soon as the child form is submitted.

To preserve the default behavior but warn users that newly added child entries have not been attached to the parent, see:
