Rollup field limit - alternative to rollup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 71

Hi, 

I have a requirement for an application table that has 45 different scoring fields. The user manages scoring tables (45 tables). When the user updates the score in scoring tables. 

The application data should be updated based on the score changes. I tried to use the rollup field. However, there is a limit that only 10 rollup fields can be used in one entity (https://www.mtccrm.com/crmdiscussion/KA-01084/). 

What alternative can be used instead of the Rollup field? is there any other solution for this issue?

This diagram shows 2 scoring tables connected to the Application entity.

    Hello,

    You always can build logic that does your rollup the custom way - good candidates are Plugins and Power Automate Flow.

    Hi SivaR,

    I agreed with Andrew, you can use power automate to sum child records value easily.

    You need design 45 flows for 45 scoring tables with similar steps:

    I will use a certain table(Development language) as an example:

    1.Go Power Automate to create one automated flow:

    2.Set trigger:

    When one DL record will be created or score/application fields of the DL record changed, the flow can be triggered.

    2.Initialize variable:

    3.List all DL records related to same application.

    4.Increment variable:
