Hi Prakhyat,

Can you please elaborate more on your requirement. because when you want to populate the text field read or after creating the 2nd lead . 
After creating the 2nd lead :
If we want to populate the text field after creation of 2nd lead , we can simply use a formula field.
The formula field would be reffering to text field of 1st lead.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Karthik

Hello prakhyat,

PFB the way you can build via Formula
  • Relation Field Name : Parent Lead (Parent_Lead__c)
  • Text feild (input ) : New Text (New_Text__c)
  • Formula field (display and relation) : New Text ( New_Text_Formula__c )
Formula : 
IF(ISBLANK(Parent_Lead__c ) , New_Text__c , Parent_Lead__r.New_Text__c)


Other way is using the same field ( New Text field ) to store parent lead and child lead text data .you can acheive via trigger .

trigger logic : 
trigger CopyTextField on Lead (before insert, before update) {

for(Lead ld:Trigger.New){
    if(ld.Parent_Lead__c != null && ld.New_Text__c == null){
        ld.New_Text__c = ld.Parent_Lead__r.New_Text__c;
        }
    }
}

Hope it help , if so kindly mark it as best answer.

Thanks,
karthik
