[Vtigercrm-developers] Field cascade from Account to Contact

[Callum Macdonald]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know if it's possible to have Account Type available as a 
field in a contact's record? So you could filter contacts according to 
Account Type, etc. If not, any suggestions on how we'd best achieve 
this? I can see a couple of options...

1) Create a custom field in Contacts and hack vtiger to automatically 
update the field every time an account field is changed. Potentially nasty.

2) Hack the sql to join the field in and add it to the result set. Again 
potentially nasty.

Suggestions most welcome on a postcard... :)

Cheers,


Callum.
