Auto Populate from Flex Relate Field

[Ramblin]

@p.konetskiy

if you use “parent” field type you should “customCode” for this field in editviewdefs.php .I made it and it worked. If I find this code, I write.

@p.konetskiy
Did you ever find this code?

I am looking at an identical issue - copying address data over to my AYU_Funds module based on the setting of a Flex_Relate field which could be either an Account or a Contact

See

Field_to_name_array with flex_relate to Contacts or Accounts

Update: Question 1 - using with Contacts - has been resolved - see below Question 2 - using with Flex_relate is still a mystery so any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. Using field_to_name_array in editviewdefs.php and populate_list/field_list arrays in the vardefs, with great help from @p.konetskiy at I was able to have fields in my custom module (AYU_Funds) auto-populated from fields in a core module (FP_events) when a Relate field from AYU_Funds to FP_events was populated. I have …

The address fields in Accounts and Contacts have different names (billing_address_… vs primary_address_…) so the field_to_name_array does not work without some kludge to the setup.

Did your code accommodate the different naming conventions?
