Need to populate the parent number to child record

[suuriya]

Hi Community,

I have a requirement, wanted to populate the parent number in related record.

Parent table (pm_project) and child table (pm_project_phase) once i create a parent record then in related list there is section called project phase and when i click on new and create new record then record number of pm_project needs to populate in pm_project_phase record.

Here when i click new button it will show only description and short desc fields only in form after i submit this form it will show something like the down image (all field of project phase will be visible)

So I created a Before insert BR in pm_project_phase table (child) and in script i used current.parent =current.parent.number; but it didn't work tried like parent is the backend name of the field where i need to set value

so i also used this like in image in parent record field it is showing the empty value ....

In child table there is field called parent record (backend name parent) in this field i need to populate the number of the parent

Please help me with the script how we can achieve this
