Display two different fields in same column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi experts,

I have two fields in the account entity: "Parent Code" and "Child Code". A parent account has a parent code and a child account has a child code. No one account has both codes.

My requirement is to create a view with both these columns. Normally, I can just add both fields as columns. However that would take unnecessary space because. 

Is it possible to combine both fields into a single column through Javascript etc? If not is there any other approach I can use?

Thanks,

Jon

    Hi,

    There is mulitple opion for this:

    1. You can create a third field and have JS code to concatenate these to field (can call your JS code on change of the field).

    2. You can do the same using workflow, where you can use append option to combine these fields.

    3. You can use Microsoft Flow , where you can combine these fields.

    4. Another option to have a plugin

    My suggestion will be to use non code solution and use workflow. If looking for steps this should help you: crmramblingsbysteven.wordpress.com/.../how-to-concatenate-two-fields-using-workflow-in-dynamics-crm-2011

    After field is concatenated you can add it to view.

    Hope it will help.
