I usually don't include the linking field in the detail canvass because in your case,
the docket_id in the detail should have the property COPY_VALUE_FROM set to the docket_id in the master.

So, as others have suggested, as you enter enter value in the master, it is automatically copied to the detail field in the deatail block.
