Hi,

If you only want to display the value and have the lookup of the entity B on entity A and you want to pull the value from, you can use Quick View form of entity B on entity A.

If you want to store the value in a field on entity A from entity B, then you can write a workflow on create of entity A and change of the lookup of entity B to update the text field on entity A.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ahmad ,

If you want to retrieve in client side then you can call API , build your query using CRMRestBuilder .
