Hello,
OFB does not work for cross objects field dependency, (https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000GdiqwUAB/crossobject-field-dependencies)
Any Apex, Apex trigger, etc would work?
we have 2 custom objects. the multi-picklist field of the child should default to the parent multi-picklist.
thx!
@Lily Chung apex trigger should work. Try this.
trigger CrossObjectDependency on Child_Object__c (before insert, before update) {
// Get the parent object IDs
Set<Id> parentIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Child_Object__c child : Trigger.new) {
parentIds.add(child.Parent_Object__c);
}
// Query the parent objects
Map<Id, Parent_Object__c> parents = new Map<Id, Parent_Object__c>([
SELECT Id, Multi_Picklist_Field__c
FROM Parent_Object__c
WHERE Id IN :parentIds
]);
// Set the child object values
for (Child_Object__c child : Trigger.new) {
Parent_Object__c parent = parents.get(child.Parent_Object__c);
if (parent != null) {
child.Multi_Picklist_Field__c = parent.Multi_Picklist_Field__c;
}
}
}
