Can the technique described in the SAFE guide for "Using Parent-Child Relationships to Perform Mass Create/Update" be used to mass update transactions?

Thanks <@U5TF1GQ20>. The line, "Any standard or custom record can be configured to have parent-child relationships" is a bit misleading in that case

you can be weirdo who uses a standard record as the parent

are you saying there _is_ a way to mass update transaction body fields using this approach?

technique works by making a sublist on a record

the sublist lines represent custom records

the record the sublist appears on can be a standard or custom record

"the record the sublist appears on" - the parent record?

so the child sublist has to be a custom record?

and that is the record I am mass updating

i.e. can only use this technique to mass update custom records

i prefer my simple no i listed in the beginning

you gave me some false hope when you said I could be a weirdo
