[Vtigercrm-developers] Creating a custom field that is a link to an another table row - vtiger 5.0.4

[Hardev Bassan]

The same contact can be the 'Primary Contact' for one Account and not for another Account.

This means that you will have to create 2 contact (one with label 'Primary Contact' and another without 'Primary Contacts' - also may require extra browsing action) - again not very elegant way of designing a database system.

I created a custom picklist field in the contacts database to describe the contact, then you can list that field in the contacts view.

Stephen,


Contact Section - can have 1 or more contacts.

I need a field that will only allow one name - as there is only Primary Contact per Account our for setup.

Is there a reason you don't want to use the "contact section" on the more information tab?

All,

I would like to create a custom field for the 'Accounts' form - see attached, that is a link to a 'Contact' instead of just a text string.

Is this easily possible (how?)  or a no goer.

The NOT very elegant way is to create a URL custom field and paste the  url in the field.
