I am creating a flow of pages in a portal. A logged-in portal user (AppUser) creates a new session (AppUser object is linked to the Session object in a 1 to many relationship) How do I get the "AppUser" drop down in the Session Portal page to automatically fill-in the name of the current AppUser, or Record Creator?
Hi,
Try going to the page editor of the new session portal page and then clicking on the appuser lookup field. If the required checkbox is ticked untick it first then click on the use record in scope checkbox, additionally you can set the display to be hidden and then tick the show record in scope option, this blocks the portal user from changing the value of the appuser lookup - if ever you need it.
Hope this helps :-)
Yes, it worked, thank you.
Another question:
In this record, I would like to have a "count" field, that would count the number of sessions that are related to the "AppUser"? I also want, either this field, or another field, have the count become "static," as soon as the record is saved.
Example:
- Session 1 created, (count in record session 1 = 1)
- Session 2 created, (count in record session 2 = 2, and count in record session 1 = 1)
- etc.
Thanks
Set an update field value trigger after create that returns the count of related records of the record creator and save it on the session record. You can do this by using rbv_api.selectNumber('select count(id) from session where createdBy={!createdBy}');
Hope this helps
