You'll find the formula you need for the XML snippet here (Step 11 in this doc)

Hi Lisa - Great tutorial. I have recommended your video series to other colleagues.

It seems that this process has been improved. It seems that you no longer need to go into the classic view to set the xml value, it appears to do it for you.
- Add a lookup field to the related record on to your source table
- Add components > Add form
- Select Lookup column
- Select Related Form
- Show component on Web, Mobile, Desktop
- Add a Lookup to the table you want in the section where you have added the Form component, this allows you to lookup or create the related record
- Just for fun I added a business rule to the source table that would hide/show the Lookup column, it hides the entire section when you hide the lookup column

This is really awesome trick.
Thanks Lisa 🙏

Hi Lisa - thank you for this! Question: It looks like you used the Standard FormID instead of your Custom FormID. Or did you actually your custom FormID?

[kylewalp]

This is great and very helpful, however I noticed it just pulls everything and not just the specific field controls configured for the form. I'm trying to grab primary contact details for and account I have associated (look up) to a custom table. SO, I'm my head it's like a grandparent/grandchild relationship if that's a thing.

Hi - greate tutorial - thank you. I'd really like to be able to bring a grandchild record through to my form, ie Entity A is a 1:N relationship to Entity B, with a 1:N relationship to Entity C, with a 1:N relationship to Entity D - I'd like to be able to bring through the look-up field from the C form onto A. Is this possible? Thanks

[HelenHanson]

Appreciate your work! Is there a way to make the form (FormId) that appears conditional on a value in the main form?

Hi,
Quick question, what behaviour will JavaScript show on Account n Contact within same form?
Will we see 2 script firing for account and contact at same time or something else?

Does this work only for Editing records of related table? I did the same exact steps by adding a new tab on my main form to show form of the related table and I get "Source record not selected" when am trying create a new form. Whats wrong here?

Hi Lisa, I tried using the same now but the lookup field is not getting displayed after adding the xml it is getting published but when coming to the ui it is not showing the lookuphere as of such can you help me with that

[gayugayumoorthi]

Show me how it will behaving on create of main form

[jpscharteredsurveyors]

great video but I do not seem to be able to connect to the form i want to, it just keeps on going back to the main form for the connected opportunity, whatever i try, i will not let me use my custom form. Anyone else having the same issue? i have removed all security in case that was the issue but still the same problem.

Great feature Lisa! Too bad this is just available in classic mode. Maybe in the next release wave?

[rjobaanable]

Thank you so much for your tutorials. I was wondering how can I create a field in a form which is a concatenated field based on values which you selected before with lookups.
So for example
I select Country : france
I select place : paris
Then the value of the field should be France-Paris.
Hopefully you understand me

[Succuub]

Would be great if not that the only thing I got is 'Error loading control'...

[walshie]

Great video. Is there anyway to do this for a One to Many relationship? I have tried to reverse engineer the Accounts > Contacts setup, but I am unable to get the same options as they have used (looks to be depricated). I want to View the list of Projects a Site has without the need to click to related dropdown option.

[GuardiansFortress-rrtu]

Would something like this be possible to leverage using a subgrid as a means to change the lookup value? So instead of having to click into each record from the subgrid (which opens up a new window/page), you could click on the subgrid record and this form component would change based on the selection and you'd stay on the parent page, while making changes to the subgrid values.

[daveclucas]

Am a complete beginner and this looks cool but there is a bit missing. Where do you copy the pasted item from that you paste into notepad? Its not showing on the recording and it seems a vital step. Sorry to be a pain.

[rishitanu]

Hlo Lisa, I tried this in my trial account but it showing error when i click on publishing.
