Workflow vs Action vs PowerAutomate vs Javascript?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 99

I need a subgrid (related Entity) populated with X number of rows based on the type of record that is created in the parent. What is the best user experience to achieve this that after they save it populates the required records?

I dont want the user to have to click refresh till the records are all there. I am also looking for the most robust way. Power Automate scares me as it takes time to fire and sometimes longer to write a few rows. Any suggestions for this?

    Hi,

    Synchronous plugin is the best choice for your requirement.

    You can also try creating real time workflow.

    Power automate is asynchronous process and will take some time to show the records on form.

    Javascript is not the best option as it will only run client side, so in future if your record is getting created from integration/through import your JS code will not trigger.

    Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!
