Hello Everyone ,
I have created a flow to create a major incident when more than 5 incidents are created , then map those incidents as child to the major incident , but major incident it created , but the child incident is not mapping to the major incident. In the related list of the incident form , it is not showing the child incidents . Help me to solve it
Thanks in advance .

Hi @sriramsin ,
You cannot set a Major Incident as a child incident. This action is restricted by the business rule: "Child incident cannot be major incident."
Please update the lookup filter to exclude Major Incident records by adding the condition:
Major Incident State is None.

The most likely reason your child incidents are not appearing in the related list is that you are populating the wrong field. To fix this, you must ensure the parent_incident field is populated on the child records, not the generic parent field.
>>>Identify the Correct Field: On the Incident table, the relationship for the "Child Incidents" related list is built on the parent_incident field.
>>>Update the Action: In your flow, after the step that creates the Major Incident:
>Add a "Look up Records" action to find the 5+ incidents that need to be linked.
>Add a "For Each" loop to iterate through these incidents.
>Inside the loop, use an "Update Record" action.
>In the Fields section, select Parent Incident (backend name: parent_incident).
>Map this field to the Data Pill of the newly created Major Incident record.
>>>Check the Related List Configuration: If the field is correctly populated but still not visible, verify your form configuration:
>Navigate to the Major Incident record.
>Right-click the header and go to Configure > Related Lists.
>Ensure that Incident > Parent Incident is in the "Selected" slushbucket
