Depends on the relationship 1:1 or 1:N etc

If 1:1 and only update in 1 entity you can update with process.

The problem is if you update in either you can start looping although checking pre and post image will stop the plugin looping.

If 1:N use a plugin:

public class Update : IPlugin
    {
        public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {
            IPluginExecutionContext context =
                (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
            IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
            IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
            var ServiceContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(service);
            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && (context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity))
            {
                Entity entity1 = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                Entity preContact = context.PreEntityImages["Image"];
                Entity postContact = context.PostEntityImages["PostImage"];
                string origfield = preContact.GetAttributeValue<string>("entity1field");
                string difffield = postContact.GetAttributeValue<string>("entity1field");

                if (origfield != difffield)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        //Create query to get the related field
                        var res = from c in ServiceContext.CreateQuery("entity2")
                                  where c["field"].Equals(entity1PK.Id)
                                  select c;

                        foreach (var c in res)
                        {
                            Entity e = (Entity)c;
                            e["entity2field"] = difffield;

                            //ServiceContext.Attach(e);
                            ServiceContext.UpdateObject(e);
                        }

                        ServiceContext.SaveChanges();
                        throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the plug-in.");

                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {
                        throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the plug-in.", ex);
                    }

                }
            }
        }
    }

Hi,

It will be better if you use quick view form.

Otherwise on update of entity write a plugin and get all the related entity and update.

Thanks
Hemant
