Bidirectional relationships

Posted on by AC-29040627-0

Hi mates,

I have created 2 relationships 1:N task to appointments and N:1 tasks to appointments but that relationship isnt bidirectional, I mean, If I create a task within a appointment, I can see from the appoitment that I have a task related to it but from the task I cant see that it has an appointment related to it. I would like, if I create a task within an appointment, that it is visible from both the appointment and the task. I dont care where it has been created, I want to see the related, thats why i say bidirectional.

Thanks in advance. Greetings.

Bidirectional relationships

Hi Partner,

1:N relationship creation automatically creates a lookup field that points to the associated entity.

You can see task in the sub-grid of appointment, then you can see the appointment in the lookup of task.

If you want to see related appointment in the sub-grid of this task, you need populate correct task in the task lookup field of the appointment:

Consider using a workflow to auto-fill the lookup field if you don't want to do it manually。

However, I recommend that you use one of the collar methods to achieve your goal without any other customization.

--Using connections to build relationship between appointment and task:

You can then look at the associated records in their respective forms:
