CRM 2013 On Premise
Hello,
Pretty straight forward question here.
Product Entity
Custom Entity.
The custom entity is associated to one or more products but usually one. I created a relationship between product and custom entity. This is all working nicely.
Now on the custom entity when a user selects a product the product name is displayed. In our situation we also need the user to be able to see the product ID...which is really the productnumber field...a single text 100 chars.
Now I thought that was one of the things that mapping fields in your relationship definition would do?? So I opened the relationship added the mapping, save...publish....it no worky...huh? Maybe I don't understand the mappings.
So I googled and came across articles like this that lead me back to my original postulate that adding mappings in your relationship definitions would == relevant values being brought over and stuck in the mapped destination field?
Now solving the problem is easy enough. I can write jquery to call Odata and lookup the productnumber for the onchange event.
My question is what am I misunderstanding about field mappings?
Thank You
