Related To in Custom Objects
Hi,
I am creating a custom app which has four custom object and the first
three are master object for the fourth one.
In the fourth object (i.e. the child of all the other object) I would
like to create a "Related To" field, this field would have one drop
down to select which object type (one of the three custom objects) I
want to relate it to and the second field a lookup for the record to
which it would be related.
This feature is already there in events and tasks object. I want to
replicate the feature in custom object.
I know this would be a customization, however, I am trying to debate
on best probable ways to do this.
Please help.
Regards
Auyon
It's not even customization, it's outright Visualforce coding. You see, that multi-type dropdown for tasks/events is a specially hard-coded feature that can't be replicated using only customization. At minimum, you need one field for each type of lookup, then a Visualforce piece to allow the user to switch between them. A bit too much like work, if you ask me. I'd say you just have the multiple fields on your layout, and restrict them to a only-one-choice option by validation rules.
