I am trying to populated value from parent record to child record but while doing so I am getting value as undefined in child record. How Can I fix that?

[Community Alums]

This is the script that I am using to populate Vendor name from parent to child record that I am creating from related list.

    function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
    var r = g_form.getReference('parent', callBack);
  
}
function callBack(r){

    g_form.setValue('u_vendor', r.number);
    g_form.setValue('u_vendor_display_name', r.u_vendor_name);
}

Number is getting populated but for Vendor name it is showing value as undefined.

Hi,

Yes, Vendor Name is u_vendor_display_name.

Field on the right side is vendor(u_vendor) which is a reference field.

I tried to bring the Vendor. Vendor Name(u_vendor_name) from form layout and tried to autopoulate it with u_vendor_name from parent but it is also not working but when i am changing record in vendor field then it is populating with the value of that vendor record.

Hi,

why not show those fields as dot walked field on customer record instead of creating new 2 fields to hold it

You can try below

g_form.setValue('u_vendor_display_name', r.u_vendor_name.getDisplayValue());
