Flex Relate - How to sort the modules list ?

Hello,

As far as I understand, the parent_type_display list is used to display the available modules for the flex relate fields.

When I removed some modules or add custom ones, it worked.

But when I try to sort the list (I want Contact to be the default option) it doesn't work and the original sort order is reset.

Any idea?

  • I believe that in a flex-relate the default value is always dependent on where you are when you start creating the record.

    For example, in the meetings module, if you start the meeting with the + sign on the Meetings subpanel on an Opportunity the default will be the Opportunity you are on, if you do it from an Account the default will be the Account you are on etc...

    I suppose you could modify the Create controller for each of the modules (Calls, Meetings etc) to always default to Contact and force the user to pick a Contact...

    FWIW Flex relate fields are a source of much confusion among my Sales users who do not understand the difference between the "Context" and the "Participants" of a Meeting or Call.
