Calculated Field not populating from Related Module

Community Alumni User
Hello everyone,

Using SugarCRM Professional, v7.2.2.1

I have two custom modules and am trying to populate fields on the first module (KGSProject) when I relate a record of the second module (DeploymentSurveys). Using the built-in formula builder in Module Builder, I create a calculated field on KGSProject field like so (formula created through prompts, not hand-typed): 



However, when I relate a DeploymentSurvey to a KGSProject, the calculated field does not populate and remains blank. 

I've tried saving and resaving, redeploying the modules, even executing a Mass Update and Recalculate Values on the KGSProjects Module list. I can't seem to get the field on KGSProjects to populate from the related field on DeploymentSurveys. The related field on the related DeploymentSurvey is definitely populated with text, it's not blank and should be returning a Submitter's Name on KGSProjects.

Is there something I am missing? It seems like this should be very straightforward, but it's not producing results.

Regards,
Stephen

    Hello again,

    Does anyone have any insight into this? I still can't seem to get it to work. Are there some limitations with calculated fields between two custom modules in SugarCRM? Or is there som trick I need to activate the calculated fields?

    Still scratching my head on this one.

    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Hello  Stephen Bisher, 

    Did you find any solution to this issue? Seems to be a re-calculate value issue. 

    Sorry, this answer is not on time, but it could help others.

    Hi Stephan,

    You can extend the create.js, create a function that triggers every time there is a change on the view. Through the js code you can pull the value of the related record. Something like this:

    ({
    extendsFrom: 'CreateView',

    initialize: function(options) {
    this._super("initialize", [options]);
    this._populateFields();
    this.model.on('change:assigned_user_id', this._populateFields,this); 
    },

    _populateFields: function() {

    var self = this;

    var userBean = app.data.createBean('Users', {id:self.model.get("assigned_user_id")});
    var branch_user;

    var request = userBean.fetch({

    success: _.bind(function(data) {
    //console.log("success");

    //get user's branch
    if (userBean.get("branch_c"))
    {
    //console.log("Get user branch");
    branch_user = (userBean.get("branch_c"));
    //console.log(branch_user); 
    this.model.set('branch_c', branch_user); 
    }


    },this),

    });


    },

    })

    Hope this help someone!!
