Hi

You need to create many-to-many relationship with Contact. Then you need to create the field manually in entityDefs

 ...
   "fields": {
     "yourRelationshipName": {
      "type": "linkMultiple"
   }
  }
... 

:

This field will be available in layout manager.

Hi,

I have an issue

In workflow, I want to receive an email each time that a field on my custom entity records is update

So I set up the trigger with email etc, But when I select email template with in :

"Hi, {MyCustomEntity.contactsNames} wants to know {MyCustomEntity.otherfield}..............."

I see "Hi, {MyCustomEntity.contactsNames} wants to know Other Field..............."

So, how to obtain the contacts'name in a workflow email ?

Thank you for your help
