VIEW MEMBER FEEDACK TO THIS TIP

When passing values to all descendants in LotusScript, the Responses property only gives you immediate responses. But if you want to get all descendants and then "stamp all" the values you want, you can't. That's where this LotusScript code comes in.

'Before calling function you need to initialize with zero 
documents "colAllDescendants" collection using the next sentence.

Set colAllDescendants = dbCurrent.Search("",Nothing,0)  
'Fake search

Sub GetAllDescendants(doc As NotesDocument, 
colAllDescendants As NotesDocumentCollection)
 
Dim colChildren As NotesDocumentCollection
Dim dChildren As NotesDocument
 
Set colChildren = doc.Responses
Set dChildren = colChildren.GetFirstDocument
While Not(dChildren Is Nothing)
'Adding document to descent
Call colAllDescendants.AddDocument(dChildren)
'Getting granchilds
Call GetAllDescendants(dChildren,colAllDescendants)
'Procesing next son
Set dChildren = colChildren.GetNextDocument(dChildren)
Wend
 
End Sub

MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP

You will get this to speed up when you're using a view that contains "$REF" -- sorted as the first column and when you perform a search with GetDoucumentByKey. My experience is that responses are very slow in large databases.
