The documentation mentions that when a relationship is setup, a related field is created in one of the modules records (which one depends on the type of relationship). But I can’t figure out how it decides which fields will show up in the module. Is there a way to specify which field is used to index the relationship?
The reason i am asking is that I want to import (through the csv import facility) some Accounts and Contacts. In the system they are coming from they are related by an account number that is unique to our system (but not GUID’s). But the default mechanism is to match by Account Name field in the contacts. I wonder if I can change this ‘primary’ field? Also I am asking because I am curious how it works.
