Hi guys,
In SuiteCRM 8, within the cases module, I would like the fields to be filled automatically once the contact has been selected.
Indeed, I tested the example below for SuiteCRM 7, but it didn’t work.
I have added the custom file “custom/Extension/modules/Cases/Ext/Vardefs/account_name.php”

Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you

I don’t know how to do it, but I read on this forum that the case module is different than other modules and also it is more complex :melting_face:

I haven’t personally tried this in SuiteCRM 8, but it’s my understanding this method only works in SuiteCRM 7

hi @pstevens
It seems that this method only works with SuiteCRM 7, as I tried it in SuiteCRM 8 and it doesn’t work. I’m looking for any solution for auto-filling fields.

Maybe you can use workflow to do that :thinking:

I don’t know of any way to do this in SuiteCRM 8 other than a workflow or before save hook that happens after the record is saved. You can check the developer guide for SuiteCRM 8. I’d love to know how to do this too if anyone knows. I suspect it’s not as straight forward as is it is in SuiteCRM 7.
