In the case of the first one, IBO doesn't know the primary key of the new
record, so it is "lost" until next time you refresh the whole dataset (or
the window in which the new record would appear).

In the second case, the user must be providing enough data to "fill" the
keylinks of the new record, so it knows which one to fetch back into the
same positional context.

Is the PK of the first being drawn from a generator? If so, use
GeneratorLinks, and make sure your trigger tests "if (new.Pkey is null)
then..."

Also, have a look to see what the RefreshAction is in each case.
