How can I create a parent that does not exist when creating a child?

I have a simple Stepper (auto created) that has a drop down list to a parent entity. If the parent does not exist I would like to create it and then continue with the child creation. What is the best way to do this?

We currently have an active enhancement request logged internally for this issue (MDM-6082), it's still something to navigate around in the short-term. There are more sophisticated solutions with varying pros/cons, but the easiest to implement is this:  

  • Open a new tab
  •  Create the parent record. 
  • Return to your original tab, refresh, and your value is there.
