Hello, The context We have 4 Classes : Invoice Account Cost Center Supplier Each Invoice requests a new Account creation, this new Account Object contains a Multi-Lookup Cost Center list and a Supplier. Suppliers contain a M ulti-Lookup Cost Center list filled by the users. Our Goal We would like to do implement the following : A user clicks the + to create a new Account in the Invoice Metadata Card The new Account Object to be created has a pre-filled Supplier (the one specified in the invoice => Parent Object) The Multi-Select Cost Center List in the Account Object is filtered based on the mentioned Supplier's M ulti-Lookup Cost Center List Do you have any tips, recommandations, ideas on how we can concretize this feature ?

Hello,

The context

We have 4 Classes :

Invoice
Account
Cost Center
Supplier

Each Invoice requests a new Account creation, this new Account Object contains a Multi-Lookup Cost Center list and a Supplier.
Suppliers contain a Multi-Lookup Cost Center list filled by the users.

Our Goal

We would like to do implement the following :

A user clicks the + to create a new Account in the Invoice Metadata Card
The new Account Object to be created has a pre-filled Supplier (the one specified in the invoice => Parent Object)
The Multi-Select Cost Center List in the Account Object is filtered based on the mentioned Supplier's Multi-Lookup Cost Center List

Do you have any tips, recommandations, ideas on how we can concretize this feature ?

Thanks for your help
Claudio

Do you have Compliance Kit with Configuration Accelerators license installed (it's free of charge)? Then you can create a button in the task pane for creating the new account and let it copy the field (Fournisseur) automatically.. This could solve Point 2..

Hi, chiming in here since I have a similiar need. Actually surprised this seemingly simple but important feature doesn't appear implemented.

Did you solve this somehow using the metadata card (as you described)?

I think sweise meant the Object Creator in CP.

Hello DefeX,

Unfortunately we didn't take the time to try it. We just dropped the client's request.
If you actually find something, we'd gladly accept a tiny tuto on how you did it.

Regards
Claudio
