Set the default value for a module field in SugarCRM

I have a module named Cases in my SugarCRM environment which has several fields like name, id, account_name, date_created, description and so on, and one custom field named custom_account_number.

I want to set its value to the one of the account_name field, how can I do that using a custom php script in custom folder?

Solution

  • If you are using Sugar 7.2 , then it is simple,

    1. Go to Admin->Studio->Modulename->fields->Select custom field.
    2. check Calculated Value then click on Edit Formula .
    3. From Fields select your name field.
    4. Then Deploy it.

    Now go to your module and save your name it will appear on your custom field also.

    I did not work on Community Edition But i can give you an idea that , you have to write a logic hook after save , in that hook you can write logic to copy Name to your custom field.
