show related lists 2 level deep in page layout

Hello,

 

I have 3 custom objects with Object A parent of Object B(lookup) and Object B parent of Object C(lookup)

 

I want to display the related list of object C on Object A's page layout .Is there a way to do so, I can do one level deep ie uptil Object B but not the second level.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

You can't do it directly on standard page layout.

 

However, there is a work around, on Object C, create a lookup of Object A too. Since Object B already have Id of Object A, when you create Object C record, using workflow/trigger, just update the lookup of Object A on Object C and keep this lookup field off from layout of Object C. Now you should be able to create related list of Object C on Object A page layout.

 

Let me know if you have any specific question.
