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!

Hey guys, I'm facing same issue. I have create custom module and create 1 - Many (1-custom_module to Many Quotes). I tried this solution but its not working. I'm using sugarcrm 8.3

This is my code.

$dictionary["Quote"]["fields"]["avds_families_quotes_1_name"] = array (
'auto_populate' => true,
'populate_list' => array(
'avds_families_quotes_1_name' => 'avds_families_quotes_1avds_families_ida',
)
);

This doesn't look right: 

'avds_families_quotes_1_name' => 'avds_families_quotes_1avds_families_ida',

It looks like you're trying to copy a name field over to an id field both of which are part of the relationship. The populate_list array should contain field mappings from the source module to the target module. Kinda like this:

$dictionary["Quote"]["fields"]["avds_families_quotes_1_name"]['auto_populate'] = true;

$dictionary["Quote"]["fields"]["avds_families_quotes_1_name"]['populate_list'] = array(

   'field_from_custom_module_1' => 'field_in_quotes_to_copy_to_1',

   'field_from_custom_module_2' => 'field_in_quotes_to_copy_to_2',

   'field_from_custom_module_3' => 'field_in_quotes_to_copy_to_3',

);

The fields on the left are the source fields in the custom module and the fields on the right are the target fields in the Quotes module. Then the fields will be copied over whenever the avds_families_quotes_1_name field changes. 

The way you show above actually completely overwrites everything else in the $dictionary["Quote"]["fields"]["avds_families_quotes_1_name"]  array and the rest of the vardef for the avds_families_quotes_1_name field would be lost.

HI Pat, 

Thanks for reply.

as you suggest I did -

$dictionary["Quote"]["fields"]["avds_families_quotes_1_name"] = array (
'auto_populate' => true,
'populate_list' => array(
'name' => 'avds_families_quotes_1_name',
),
);

but still it is not working.

We never use names in relations, so I think the id avds_families_quotes_1avds_families_ida was the correct one, but the target was wrong.
