Contract [ast_contract] - Parent children fields dependent on Record Producer

hongsok — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 23:22:34 GMT

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Parent Contract number and Child Contract number on a Record Producer.

I have two variables on my Record Producer:

Parent Contract number – Reference field (Contract [ast_contract])
Child Contract number – Reference field (Contract [ast_contract])

My question is: How can I set the Advanced Reference Qualifier on the Child Contract number to depend on the selected Parent Contract number?

Regards,

Hong

Hi @hongsok ,

Please update the reference qualifier for the Child Contract to:
javascript&colon;
parent_contract = current.variables.<technical_name_of_parent_contract_number_variable>.

Hi @Huynh Loc ,

Thanks for the quick response. Since this is a record producer, I tried both of the following options, but neither worked.

javascript&colon; parent_contract = current.variables.contract_number
javascript&colon; parent_contract = current.producer.contract_number

Note: On the record producer, contract_number is the parent variable, and related_project is the child variable.
