It would appear that when AOW saves a record as part of the Create Record Action that its not firing the parent::save which would then invoke any business logic. Why is this please? Its essential for any new records to be added in the same way and respectfully of, the normal sugarcrm processes.
Its my belief that you need to add $record->save after the line $record->$field->add($rel_id); in actionCreateRecord.php in order to kick off any custom business logic after running the relationship as I have created a custom save action (not finished yet like:
require_once(âmodules/clt_client_doc_item/clt_client_doc_item_sugar.phpâ);
class clt_client_doc_item extends clt_client_doc_item_sugar {
function clt_client_doc_item(){
parent::clt_client_doc_item_sugar();
}
function save($check_notify = FALSE) {
parent::save($check_notify);
$this->parent_type = $this->clt_module_name;
switch ($this->clt_module_name) {
case "clt_client_header":
$client_header = $this->get_linked_beans("clt_client_doc_item_clt_client_header", "clt_client_doc_item");
$this->parent_id = $client_header[0]->id;
}
break;
case "clt_client_profile":
break;
case "clt_client_owner":
break;
case "clt_client_controller":
break;
case "clt_client_relationship":
break;
}
parent::save($check_notify);
}
}
Hmm no that doesnt appear to work. If I run a âcreate recordâ action then the link takes place and relationship created, however I use a custom save to populate the value of a flex relate field, but that doesnt work until I open the âcreated recordâ and save it again. This should fire automatically as part of the createRecord action.
Nobody? 
Could you post the workflow? If you would like to trigger the save on the parent record and it does not appear to be working you could add a flag field which is only edited by the workflow and causes the parent record to be saved.
I am sorry you havenât had a response earlier, with the 7.3 release I think everyone at Suite might be very busy at the moment.

Thanks for the response, yes I can see the team have been very busy and I am certainly so happy they are continuing SugarCRM CE and praise the efforts made thusfar. I have attached the workflow screenshots below. Essentially the client_doc_item table is connected to one of 5 other custom module tables, this relationship is displayed as a flex relate field to the custom module; however AOW does NOT pick up the custom module to show in the drop down so I have to use a linking field to reflect the relationshop through module builder relationship tables.
The related table from the workflow populates okay, but the custom code in the custom module diectory does not fire. When I open the the module and save the record in CRM it populates the flex relate field just fine, just not as part of the workflow âcreate recordâ action.

Perhaps you could provide some clarity on your proposed solution please?
The custom save function just doesnt fire, and I tried to implement a custom retrieve function to carry out the same change but it creates an endless loop which then times out. I cant help but think the easiest way is to correct AOW so it forces the business logic through the correct use of the save function.
