I have an ODK2.0 form which contains a linked_table to a form (let’s call it the “child” form). In the child form, the user will enter a single integer called “numberOfCans” and then finalize that child form instance. How can I return this integer value back to the parent form for use for validation in the parent form? Would it be something like data(’<some_unique_form_id>.numberOfCans’)?

This is doable! You are going to need to use queries and async_assign to feed the data back up to the parent form. See here: Using ODK-X XLSX Converter — ODK-X Docs for some details and examples of async_assign and let us know any follow-up questions after that.

I normally create a static method on form/dialog, that I can call. This returns the success (OK-button) or failure, along with the values that needs to be filled in.
public class ResultFromFrmMain {
public DialogResult Result { get; set; }
public string Field1 { get; set; }
}

The mechanism to do this has not been generalized and folded into the core software. The ‘agriculture’ form demonstrates one possible implementation of the mechanism. In this form, there are custom prompt types for asynchronous assignment of values.
