Update Opportunity Field When Competitor Added to Competitor Subgrid

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a client request to auto mark an OOB 'Id Competitor' field on the Opportunity entity as "Complete" when a competitor has been added to the Competitor subgrid on Opp form.  I currently have a wf to perform this task when a "new" competitor has been created and added to the subgrid but am having trouble performing the task when an "existing" competitor is added.  I initially thought this would be an easy task (maybe it still is) to find an OOB way with a workflow to accomplish this.   As we know, there is a N:N relationship between opp and competitor and seems to be where the complexity lies.

I then thought that maybe there was also a 'Connection' for Competitor in which I could just configure a workflow on 'Connection' create but there is not a Competitor 'Connection' as possibly thought.

Is there a OOB to accomplish my task?  I initially thought there was an OOB field that got updated that could run the workflow on update but can't seem to locate one as would probably lie within the N:N.

Regards.

    Hello,

    I'm afraid you will have to develop the plugin in order to implement your requirement and there is no easy OOB/nocode solution for that.

    Plugin will handle Associate message, check relationship, verify opportunityid and competitorid and after that you will be able to update opportunity.
