    Hi ShoaibKhan,

    What you want is to update the child records when the parent record is updated.

    You can refer following link, which provides detailed steps:

    Update Child Record When Parent Record is Updated – Using Plugin – CrmKnowHow (wordpress.com)

    (+) How to write plugin to Update Child records when Parent record updated - Microsoft Dynamics CRM Forum Community Forum

    Or you can try to use workflow/flow to achieve it, which are no-code ways:

    (1) Workflow:

    There is no OOB step in workflow to update child records, you need firstly download Solution: Dynamics 365 Workflow Tools and import it.

    Once the Solution file is downloaded and imported into your organization, setting-up a Process/Workflow for this is very straightforward.

    (2) Flow:

    Hi Shoaib,

    What is the link/relationship between Entity A and Entity B?

    When do you want to trigger this plug-in to update Feedback field in Entity B?
