DigitOptic Custom Rollup-Summary Formula/S-Control/Whatever
Background:
I have created a custom object called Preleads. Preleads can be "stand-alone" records or associated with a Lead using a Lookup Relationship field. Leads then have a related list section on their record page for the users to view and associate. We are using Professional Edition (which I'm worried will limit my ability to add a custom solution).
Problem:
Rollup-Summary fields are not available for lookup relationship fields and Master-Detail relationship fields cannot be used for Lead records (why, Salesforce, why?). I need a formula/s-control to give a total number of preleads associated to a lead. I want this to be on the lead record so that the user can determine easily how many they have. I have trolled the discussion board and blogs to no avail, although it seems there are a number of people with this same problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?
You won't be able to accomplish this with formulas as of yet It is a major request to be able to reference grandparent records for formulas, which is what you are asking it seems.
I will not get into s-controls for now. I have been out of that loop for far too long :smileytongue:
