Field from a parent to a child form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 355

Hi

I have a parent record (client) with a child record (account). Within Client there is a yes no option for 'Test Record' that I would also like to be placed on the account record and mapped back to the client.  I am not wanting it to be updated from the child record, just that whatever shows in the client displays in account.

What is the best way to achieve this without code?

Thanks

    Hello Darren,

    I understand your point .

    MSCRM allow mapping from 1:N ,not N:1 .

    for this you should go with asynchronous workflow .you just create a workflow in client entity and update record in account which run of record change

    Hi,

    if you have have a 1:N relationship you can achieve it with the mapping functionality: technet.microsoft.com/.../dn531171.aspx

    If in your user case, it is not possible you will need to create Jscript WebAPI call or a postupdate plugin to update the child record.

    Hi Darren,

     you might create a quick view form for the client entity(maybe with that field only) and add it to the account forms:
