Hi to everyones,

I try to implement auto mapping between Account and a Custom Entity... but doesn't work!

Someone could suggest me the best practise to perform this? Thanks a lot.

    Thanks to reply Jason.

    I created the custom entity before from within the Account record but this didn't work so I tried the second that you wrote but nothing...

    One question please...

    We suppose to have two entity: EntityA and EntityB. Within EntityA there is a lookup field (LookA) over EntityB. At OnChange of LookA some EntityB's fields are copied in some EntityA's fields. If we change one field of this in EntityB, how do we do to update the copy field in EntityA also? Where is the best practise to perform this? Plugin? WF/CustomWF? BusinessRoles?

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you creating the custom entity from within the Account record or creating a new custom entity and setting the lookup to the Account? The later will not work.
