Related List: How to auto populate fields

[ramandeepgarg6]

Hi Team,

If i have a form opened. This form contains a related list. In related list if i create a new form then its fields should be auto-populated from the current opened form. Please tell how to achieve this?

Hi Ramandeep,

This would occur if you have a field in below table which refers to current record. In this case that field would be automatically populated.

If this is already present can you check the form layout for the below table whether the field which refers to current record is present in the form layout or not.

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Hi Ankur,

That part is fine. For example i want to copy "Description" from the current record and want to auto populate it in "Description" of below "Issues" record then how this can be done?

Hi Ramandeep,

Only the field which refers to the parent table will be auto-populated if you want to populate some other field then some manipulation has to be done.

One thing you can do is have onLoad client script and since you already have a reference field to parent, using g_form.getReference() with callback you can auto-populate that.

you can try it out.
