Identify a field in child BC that will act as Foreign key in Child BC.
Create a link between two Business Components.
Define one BC as [...]
Set Parent Field Value from Child BC
This post more of an open question then an answer to problem. I came across this requirement few days ago and pondered for few hours to find an optimal solution. In the end I had to revert to scripting in the final solution.
