SageCRM – Updating a field, based upon another field, in the same table

Posted in Uncategorized on July 6th, 2010 by Ryan Lowdermilk – Be the first to comment

The easiest way to do this is a table level script.

function InsertRecord()

{
var sql = ‘SELECT comp_idcust FROM vCompany WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE comp_companyid=’ + Values(’oppo_primarycompanyid’);
var companyRecord = eWare.CreateQueryObj(sql);
companyRecord.SelectSql();
Values(’oppo_primarycompany_idcust’) = companyRecord.FieldValue(’comp_idcust’);
}

function PostInsertRecord()

{

// Handle post insert record actions here

}

function UpdateRecord()

{
var sql = ‘SELECT comp_idcust FROM vCompany WITH (NOLOCK) JOIN vOpportunity ON oppo_primarycompanyid = comp_companyid WHERE ‘ + WhereClause;
var companyRecord = eWare.CreateQueryObj(sql);
companyRecord.SelectSql();
Values(’oppo_primarycompany_idcust’) = companyRecord.FieldValue(’comp_idcust’);
}

function DeleteRecord()

{

// Handle delete record actions here

}
