Autopopulate lookup values coming from parent entity

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 905

Hello everyone,

With reference to this post: (+) Set field value on another table automatically after record creation - Dynamics 365 General Forum Community Forum that was solved based on   assistance, I have two tables linked as (Project Resource Table (1:N)-> Schedule table).

What I want to achieve is the below:

  • When I click on a new item from the grid and from the Project resource table which is the parent entity, I would like to populate the project name and the resource name fields that are coming from the Project Resource ID field that is being populated automatically on the form of the schedule table which is the child entity and that Project Resource ID already has those two values assigned on the parent entity (Project Resource Table).

I have tried to filter the lookup field as below but it is not populating the values when I click new item directly from the sub-grid:

What is the best way to achieve the above? I am doing something wrong or it should be done in a different way?

I would highly appreciate if you can provide an example.

Best regards,
EBMRay

    Hello,

    The easiest way for you is to use "Mapping". Check this post that can help you - www.marksgroup.net/.../

    Hi,

    You can achieve your requirement with calculated field as well

    docs.microsoft.com/.../define-calculated-fields

    If mapping mentioned in above post does not work then try with calculated field. Also you can use Real Time Workflow to auto populate those fields value and you can mark read only on from.

    Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!
