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?

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.

ok, Is parent field populated once the form is loading?

u_vendor_name is a string field as well and also u_vendor_display_name ?

yes, it's populating and both are string fields.

Hi,

client script is on which table?

Are you sure parent field is populated on form? parent field is present on form view?

I have created a vendor record from which I am creating a customer record through related list. In customer form I have created a reference field (u_vendor) taking reference from Vendor table in which I want to autopopulate the vendor record number for eg. VEN0001004 when I create a new record using related list and vendor name from vendor record should also autopopulate on the customer record.

Hi,

then why not use display business rule on customer table and do this

current.u_vendor_display_name = current.parent.u_vendor_name;

current.u_vendor =  current.parent.number;
