Is there a way to prevent the phone_office field from being populated from the account into the contact?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently seeking a way to prevent the contact's phone_office field from being populated with the account's phone_office when establishing a relationship between them.

Here's the code I've implemented:

```php

$dictionary['Contact']['fields']['account_name']['populate_list'] = array(
'billing_address_street' => 'primary_address_street',
'billing_address_city' => 'primary_address_city',
'billing_address_state' => 'primary_address_state',
'billing_address_postalcode' => 'primary_address_postalcode',
'billing_address_country' => 'primary_address_country',
);

```

I added this code to custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_account_name.php.

However, upon creating the relationship, I encountered an error, and the contact was marked as deleted=1. I also attempted making the change within modules/Accounts/vardefs.php, but encountered the same issue. I'm uncertain if there's something additional that needs to be done within the Accounts module.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You did exactly the right thing.

I copied your code and it worked fine in my test environment.

Did you call a Quick Repair and Rebuild after the change?

Please check all touched files for any wrong characters.

In cache/modules/Contacts/Contactvardefs.php you should find the changed field definition for account_name:

    'account_name' => 
    array (
      'name' => 'account_name',
      'rname' => 'name',
      'id_name' => 'account_id',
      'vname' => 'LBL_ACCOUNT_NAME',
      'join_name' => 'accounts',
      'type' => 'relate',
      'link' => 'accounts',
      'table' => 'accounts',
      'isnull' => 'true',
      'module' => 'Accounts',
      'dbType' => 'varchar',
      'len' => 255,
      'source' => 'non-db',
      'unified_search' => true,
      'populate_list' => 
      array (
        'billing_address_street' => 'primary_address_street',
        'billing_address_city' => 'primary_address_city',
        'billing_address_state' => 'primary_address_state',
        'billing_address_postalcode' => 'primary_address_postalcode',
        'billing_address_country' => 'primary_address_country',
      ),
      'populate_confirm_label' => 'TPL_OVERWRITE_POPULATED_DATA_CONFIRM_WITH_MODULE_SINGULAR',
      'importable' => 'true',
      'exportable' => true,
      'export_link_type' => 'one',
      'audited' => true,
      'massupdate' => true,
      'hidemassupdate' => false,
      'help' => 'modified field',
      'duplicate_merge' => 'enabled',
      'duplicate_merge_dom_value' => '1',
      'merge_filter' => 'disabled',
      'reportable' => false,
      'calculated' => false,
    ),

If you want to be sure that the polulate_list is added at the end of the definition you can write it to custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/_override_account_name.php and try a Quick Repair and Rebuild again.
