  Hello,

  I can't give you the code, but this is my idea how to do it:

  +I suppose your relationship between Parent and Child is: 1-N.

  +Then in your Child form probably has a Lookup Field of Parent field.

  +So in your Lookup Field event OnChange, try to implement the REST service to retrieve the Parent record to get its name --> Fill your Child field value.

  +In case you create a Child record from Parent form, in Child form OnLoad event, call LookupField.fireOnChange() method.

  PS: OData link

  Hi,

  I think there is no need to use oData, since you have the parent fields name on the child records form. Use the below code on load of form or on change of the parent record field:

  function NameFunction() {
     //get the name of the parent record   
     var name = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue()[0].name;
     //set the name of the child
     Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").setValue(name + " something");
  }

  Of course, this works if you want to retrieve the name (the primary field of the parent). So, if you want to use other fields you have to use the AJAX methods.

  BTW, i think you could use a workflow as well to handle this requirement.
