How to fetch value on load while creating new record from parent record

[Community Alums]

Hi Team,

I have a requirement wherein when we click on New Order task from the related list, it should then fetch some values and  copy it to the fields of the order task.

I am writing the below code in OnLoad client sce

wI am writing the below code in screenshot but alert is throwin blank record instead of sys_id

I would suggest to use the display business rule to get the parents details and copied to g_scratchpad variables.

for example:

        g_scratchpad.parent_number = current.parent.number;

You can use these g_scratchpad variables in client scripts.

       g_form.setValue('field name', g_scratchpad.parent_number);

Thanks!

Hi Sagar,

Actually there are other values as well which I need to populate from parent onload of this form.

Can you tell how to achieve that?

Now I have added the field Order_line_item in the form as below but the alert message above is giving different sys_ids not of the current record.

Hi Ankur,

You need to create a display business rule on Order Task table. You can refer this script as example.

Condition: current.isNewRecord() && !current.customr_order_line.nil()

	var parentDetails = current.customr_order_line.getRefRecord();

	if (parentDetails.isValidRecord()) {
		current.u_order_line_item = parentDetails.getUniqueValue(); // reference field		


		current.your_field1 = parentDetails.your_field1;
		current.your_field2 = parentDetails.your_field2;
	}

Thanks!
