Count contacts related to a record

[olof]

I'm trying to count the number of contacts related to a record so I can show it in a records list view..

entryCount=entity\countRelated('contact')

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, check link name again. I think it has to be 'contacts', but check in Entity Manager

Thanks - that works now but it only fires with the record is edited not when a contact is allocated... is there any way to make this fire when a contact is related to it?

formula works only after record saved. Seams you need a workflow after Contact created Update related record.

Thanks, that will work.

tanya I've just tried to implement but these are not new contacts being created - rather existing contacts being associated with existing records (is a new record type we call buckets).

what relationship type is here?
do you use linkMultiple fields?
