I have created custom module in suitecrm and added flex relate field in it

We are using rest api to do entry in any module.

We found somewhere that flex related field need to be set using relationship.

I tried that also but failed.

Please provide proper solution for it?

Hi,
never try but a flex relate have 2 field : like this (my memory)

  • parent_type
  • parent_id

Maybe in api :

parent_type = ‘Accounts’
parent_id = ‘qwer-qwer-qwer’ …

Maybe so ?
