Automatic field changes for like account numbers

Jackie Mather

If a field changes on a record with an account number can the same field change on all records with the same account number? For instance, if there are 5 account locations listed and the same account number is listed for each, can a field be set that when checkmarked all of the other records with the same account number update automatically?

    Hello Jackie,

    By account number, you aren't referring to the ID but rather a custom field, is this correct? There may not be an easy way to address this issue within the application. You might be able to create a workflow but a logic hook may be the best bet. You could search for records with a similar account number and update them with the same information. Not knowing what version you are running, I will leave you with the general developer guide to point you in the right direction. If you can provide me with the version that you are using, I can try to find more specific documentation and examples.

    Kind Regards,
