Update a connection field based on a relationship in another connection field / pre-populate connection field

Hello,

I have an object with two connections. I want to update only one and the other gets populated automatically based on one.

When I try to add 'Conditional Rules' for one of my connected fields and set value, I can only see the same field name.

Same idea with setting up security between three tables. How to automatically prepopulated the connection field!

Please advise!

Hello,

is there any news on this request? Maybe this is for the coders amongst us:

How to use a newly selected connection to update another connection within the same object?

Any ideas?

Hi @Wolfgang_Brötz ! I believe that older post may have been addressed in a ticket. Unfortunately, that post pre-dates me, so I don’t have a lot of context. However, to your question, this article may help – https://learn.knack.com/article/r3edi1pk8v-text-formulas

If that doesn’t fully address your question, please let me know if you’re looking for something else. Or, you can also open a ticket with our via https://knack.uno/get-help.

I’m looking for this functionality too. As far as I know, you can’t do a text formula in a connected field, so I don’t think this would work. Am I missing something? Thank you!

Thank you @Suzanne, this is my understanding, too.

@Kat, could you please be a bit more specific why you sent this link to text formulas in order to update a connection field?

What is the processing state of the ticket you mentioned?

Hi @Ally,

i noticed your valuable efforts in the thread “Concern about (the lack of) support”.

As you can see above, I am making reference to an issue which arose 2.5 years ago. Would you mind supporting @Kat in letting us know if anything has changed since then?

Thanks in advance
Wolfgang
