Hi,

Wondering what best approach is for getting an ID that can be used instead of Primary key when using lookup columns?

Im finding myself looking at a blank field that happens to be the Primary key field of a related table?

Is it possible to auto copy a field value from one field to another before saving the record?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Tango

This type of need must be worked on in the backend, which is why you need to be able to develop a javascript or a Plugins.

In the case that you place, you must go for plugging because if you want to copy the value before you must do it in the pre-creation of the record, as long as this value already exists in the table you can copy it in another field before saving

The other way is to do it with javascript but in this case you must save the data in the table. If you do this, there are also other tools such as Workflow or Business Rules that can help you with your request.
