Hello everyone.
I have a question.
I have a form for customer, each customer can have multiple appliance and i Have create a child form where i put the appliance.
In the child form i want that some field as name of the customer and address will be filled automatically from the customer form.
How can i do?
I need Java script?
Someone can help me with the script?

Thank’s

Hi Federico,

If you have a one-to-many relationship from Customer to Appliance then yes you can do this easily.

Make sure you set the Show Inverse Relationship option on your Link to Form field, then Tap Forms will show the parent relationship on the Appliance form.

However, once you’ve done that, you can pick out values from specific parent fields just by adding a Calculation field that references a field from the parent. Just make sure you set the Return Type to be the correct type. If it’s the name of the contact, then it’s probably Text.

You can also use a Script field for the same purpose.

Thanks,

Brendan
