Hello All, 

I followed instructions of how to map data fields from one entity to another entity and for some reason it's not working. I was able to do this few months ago. 

How to do data mapping is fairly simple. 

I am following all these rules. Created 1:N relationship and followed all the rules. It's not giving me an error. It's just not copying. I tried with a simple text field and still no luck. 

  • Both fields must be of the same type and the same format.

  • The length of the target field must be equal to or greater than the length of the source field.

  • The target field can’t be mapped to another field already.

  • The source field must be visible on the form.

  • The target field must be a field that a user can enter data into.

  • If the fields are option sets, the integer values for each option should be identical.

  • Address ID values can’t be mapped.

    I've seen a lot of people say the mappings arent working, while this isnt ideal, you could make a real time workflow to handle for you.

    Are you able to see the data if you switch to the Associated view (See Associated Records option) of the subgid?
