Update 'parent' card field of PartList

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

I have a Customer card with an embedded ListPart page of events the customer attended. 

These events have several editable boolean fields. (Checkboxes on the ListPart page)

For one of these fields I have the total of where it is true displayed in the Customer card through an integer field with FieldClass = Flowfield and a Calcformula = Count = (....)

This works nicely, but when I check or uncheck one of the boxes on the ListPart page, the field on the customer card is not updated, when I close the card and open it up again, the field is updated.

Is this in any way possible to have this happen on the fly?

What I have already tried and doesn't work:
UpdatePropagation : this not a valid poperty on a page with Pagetype = Card;

force a CalcField with the Onvalidate triiger as follows:

trigger OnValidate()
var
    customer: Record Customer;
begin
    customer.get(Rec.CustomerId);
    customer.CalcFields(BoolFieldName);
    // With or without the 
    CurrPage.Update();                  
end;

I tried putting this both in the table of the ListPart, as the ListPart Page itself.

Thanks in advance.

    Hello  - We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thank you kindly.

    I am very new to the world of Dynamics 365 and am still trying to find my way around.

    Hello Filip - No problem.  Partners can still help you on this forum.  We just do not have Microsoft employee's who are also developers monitor the forums.
