Rookie question: Parent/Child custom records

edited Dec 3, 2019 9:10AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 3 comments

Hi everyone,

I have created a parent and a child custom record (linked) that creates an entry form for the user.

On the child custom record I have added fields related to items such as Qty, Amount, Rate, Tax code, Tax Amount and so forth.

My idea was to use Validation & Defaulting to get values calculated by a formula.

example:

Tax Amount field would have the formula to say {Amount} * 0.25 (25% tax based on the tax code).

This works fine when I "un-tick" Store Value (which makes sense since it will recalculate everytime the user edit the Amount field).

However, if I un-tick the Store Value box, the field is not visible on the entry form any more.

Howdy, Stranger!
