Passing Scratchpad values

[Wade Clairmont]

I have populated scratchpad value in display business rule in a scoped app.

what I now need to do is access this value in a new child record from this parent?

After this value is populated in parent, I create a new related child, but the scratchpad in the child record does not contain this value.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

The display business rule only applies on the record itself. So not on a child record for example.

So you would need to setup a display business rule, on that child record.

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,

Not sure what this means.  I can only use scratchpad values populated in BR on the parent record where they were populated?

I can see a few ways to make sure you have the value on the child during creation.

1 - Put the Display business rule on the child table to get the value from the parent.  This may work for a new record if the parent field is set when the form loads.  If not see below.

2 - Create a custom UI Action for creating the change record that uses a URL and pass the value via the URL and on the child have a client onLoad script pars it out and set it in the scratchpad.

3 - Put the parent field on the form and use a onChange script to make a Ajax call back to the server to get the value and set it in the scratchpad.
