How to automatically pick up columns when creating a quick create: event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 88

whilst using the Quick Create: Event, there are 2 fields that appear.

 

In order to avoid duplicate entry, i want these 2 fields to be appearing on the quick create. the 2 fields are from another table: Manifest.

 

any help on this matter would be appreciated.

 

thanks

    HI @AsheshR 

     

    Only if you use quick create from a subgrid, and the data you want to map comes from the parent table, can you obtain it immediately

     

    If you want to do it with a workflow, it will be after saving the data and it must come from a relationship otherwise you will not be able to obtain it

    Hello Jonathan, thank you for your input.

     

    But can this be done without JavaScript?

    for eg, creating a workflow or doing mapping?

     

    Thanks

    Hi @AsheshR 

     

    To achieve this you must use Javascript to define those values in the onload of the form

     

    function onload (executionContext)
    // Get a reference to the form context
    var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // Pass executionContext as a parameter in your function
    
    // Set the value of the field
    formContext.getAttribute("nombre_del_campo").setValue("nuevo_valor");
