Hello,

I have a rollup field that calculates the sum of crop areas of related records, set up as standard. How can I achieve the display of relevant information at any time?

@ppl111 You would need to add a plugin to handle this. In Your scenario you might need to create a plugin regsitered it on related child entity (create and update message(update message you can add filtering attributes to Crops field)). Within the plugin code you can get the parent record and force calculate the rollup field.

1. From the above method, whenever a new related child record is added your rollup field is calculated. similarly, whenever crops field value is updated rollup field is calculated and consistence is maintained.

I mean any information, that was changed in this field will update in real time, like using AJAX in javascript.
