Has populate_list stopped working for quotes in 7.10?

Eventually you have to set the attribute 'auto_populate':

$dictionary['Quote']['fields']['customer_name_c']['auto_populate'] = true;

I added a relate contact field my_contact_c/contact_id_c and a phone field my_contact_phone_c to accounts.

Then I created custom/Extension/modules/Accounts/Ext/Vardes/my_contact.php with following content:

<?php
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['my_contact_c']['auto_populate'] = true;
$dictionary['Account']['fields']['my_contact_c']['populate_list'] = array(
// source => target,
'name' => 'my_contact_c',
'id' => 'contact_id_c',
'phone_work' => 'my_contact_phone_c',
);
?>

After clearing the cache and QR&R I could select a contact in an Account and teh field my_contact_phone_c was filled automatically.

Thanks to Francesca Shiekh for the right direction!

I was recently shown this method and it did work for me. I had been using populate_list and field_list as show both 

here: SugarCRM: Populating fields using a Relate field « Sugar Developer Blog – SugarCRM 

and here: HOWTO: Using a relate field to populate a custom field « Sugar Developer Blog – SugarCRM 

Both old articles but that method had been working for me until 7.9. 

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Hi Pat Pawlowski,

both articles you found were designed for Sugar 6. They work in certain modules an certain versions of Sugar 7 too.

The method I described is part of the developer guide for version 7.10, you should be able to use it in Sugar 7.

Interesting that going to the developer guide http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.10/ and searching for populate_list returns a single listing relating to 6.5 named "Adding QuickSearch to a custom field." You would think that would pretty specific. 

Thanks again,
