hey all, i have a custom record thats a parent and another one that's a child. when I am editing the parent i would like the sublist to autopopulate since it sources from the parent. is this doable?

I have tried many ways but the client scripts are really nasty

the field is set to sourcing from the parent, but on the sublist it behaves differently than if i was on a new child record creation

<@UMG2Q06QN> your observation is correct. Sourcing is sourcing a values at sub record creation. what you are asking for may be accomplished with a schedule mass update.  that looks at the child custom record and updates the field to match a value in a field on the parent record?

<@UCV4TNZQS> yeah, but what i need is for it to be on the fly

so they add sublist items and they source fields
