Showing items from parent-parent relation

[chrismc]

Hi,

I have created a new entity "holding" with 1:n relationship to accounts (=companies). This works well and I can add accounts to holdings. When viewing a holding item I also see the companies added to. Is there a way to also show the contacts when viewing a holding?

The overall relations are: holding 1:n accounts 1:n contacts.

Thanks!

Hello,
> When viewing a holding item I also see the companies added to.
Are you talking about the 'detail view' of the Holding entity?
Could you describe more explicitly where you want to see the contacts?

Hi,

I believe you should utilize formula to set your custom field with a value of a parent's field.

Thank you both for your replies!

@Maximus: yes at the detail view for example.

Thanks

If you already have a relation between the holding and contacts entities of the 1:n type, you just need to add the linked contacts field into the detail views layout of the holding entity using Layout Manager. But if you want to see it in the list grid view you have to configure your list view with the same way.

Maybe I don't understand, but the relation I have is:
Holding <-> Account <-> Contact
And I want to see the Contacts when viewing the details of a holding. Does your answer still apply?

Sorry, I had misunderstood you. In this case try to use way suggested by yurikuzn.
