Any ideas on how to update a field on a Parent Record when a Child Custom Record is created? 🤔 Ex. Each Employee Record has Salary Change Records (custom rec). When a Salary Change Record is created, I want the Salary field on the parent Employee Record to get updated (based on value set in custom rec). I'm having a hard time figuring this out. (I know it's Set Field Value, but how to set values on a different kind of record?)

@Laura if you don't need the salary value stored on the parent employee record, you could use a saved search to source the last created / edited value from the child records and view it on the parent.

@girieshg I do want the value stored on the parent... I am essentially looking for a way for the custom record to update the parent field. Or for the parent field to be updated based on the latest custom child record created

ok... got it. I guess the easiest option would be to write a script.
