I have a custom child table that displays as a Master/Detail related list under Opportunities.

I would like to display the Opportunity Record Type Name as a formula in the related list.

But the formula editor only lets me add RecordType.Id.

I tried $RecordType.Name, but that only works if the Record Type is part of the current object.

My custom object doesn't have Record Types, but the Parent (Opportunity) does have Record types.

I can't come up with a formula that works.

I am thinking I may have to use a trigger.

Thanks,

Kevin.
