Hi Power people.

I have build a simple page to create a contact. the permisssion is set to use account level. When I try to create a contact it works , meaning it creates the contact but does not set the account. So how do I bind the current account without the user have to "assign" it ?

Hi @PowerGoose ,

I have few things to ask and share:

Have you added Account field on contact form?
Are you selecting Account lookup before hit submission?
If Account field is not added on Form, then how you want it to be filled out?

Assuming you want to auto-fill your Account field on contact. There can be multiple ways to auto-fill fields in Power Pages, you can use Basic Form Metadata, jQuery, Workflow, Power Automate etc. on creation on contact.

Feel free to ask if you need more clarity.

Thanks,
Saud

If the Account will always be the same account as the Portal User doing the create, then you can set it on save of the form via form metadata and setting it to the value of the current portal user's account field (you may also be able to do it via Associated Table Reference settings on the form).
