Hi,

When user will type keywords then list of contacts names will be shown similar to Google search suggestions.

Right now I have relate field to Contacts module, it open popup of Contact to select field value from related module.

I looking for any blog or article or forum link mentioning above feature.

Any idea?

Best Regards,

If you’re doing a Relate field that auto-fill feature should work out-of-the-box…

Thanks for the answer. Good to know we have the feature available in SuiteCRM.

I have custom module, the relate field to this module in pop-up neither shows link to select record or search suggestions do not work on the field.

I tried to add ‘link’ => true, on each field in popupdefs.php and other related files. It work fine on list view but in relate field popup links are available to select.

Also I can’t see checkbox to select record. I am able to search records in popup.

Any idea?
