If you have 2 objects that are related between them and also with accounts (both) you can’t automate the creation of the related object based on the main object without coding.
Basically if you add an action “On After Add” and choose “Add an object entry” and try to map the different fields from the parent into the child object, you will discover that you can’t do anything with Accounts: it’s not automatically added when checking “include relationships” and it’s not a field you can choose in the predefined values list.
Possible Use Case:
-
Object: Request (related to Accounts)
-
Object 2: Request History (related to Request and to Accounts)
-
I want to create a History when a new Request is created (ex. Request in Opened State). I just need the status (Opened is default value anyways), the relationship with Request (automatically created) and the relationship with Accounts → This is the problem, the missing piece
Two possible solutions: when checking “include relationships” we also include the Accounts (same account than the parent) or we allow the user to choose this field and through the expression builder we can then use the account from the parent
