MS CRM 2011 - Inhering data from from form to another form
Question
-
As you can see from the picture.
I want to add a new waste product to the current form using add new waste product button. That works well. Now only inherited info from current form is the weigh-in number, seen on under the product section.
Now I want to inherit more info to the waste product form from the current form like net weight. How can I do that? The relation between current form and waste product form is 1:N.

Hi,
If you are always creating the child record from the parent form you can use relationship attribute mappings.
If you open up the relationship in the customisations and select mappings - you can define the values to 'inherit' from the parent form.
Inherit isn't really the best term for it though - since it's more like a 'copy'. If the parent values change, then values will not cascade to the child records once they are created.
