How to autopopulate a field value based on same field value present on a different table ?

[1_DipikaD]

Hi All,

I want to  auto populate a field value based on same field value present on a different table. As shown in the below picture P records are lnked to t record . We create  records clicking on NEW button on related list of  record . I want to auto populate the field value of  name field on  record at the time while clicking on New button. I  can't find any UI action exists for this . But when I click on ' i ' button besides the name (Reference field) field on   form , it redirects to that record . Could you please suggest how to approach this ? Please let me know if you need more info .  

Thank You

@Ankur Bawiskar  No it's not populating .

@Ankur Bawiskar  Below ss taken recently . I think it's taking the value but not showing on the form as the mandatory symbol is greyed and not in red .

Good catch, maybe look if any ACL is preventing read access.  Check via Access Analyzer.

Hi @M Iftikhar ,

Checked access analyzer but there is no issue for blockage for that field.

as you can see the i icon is seen means the value is getting populated.

which field in main table is marked as Display=true?

Does that field have value in it?
