Hey Gang,
Is there a way to pass certain fields from a Parent Work order when I create a child or Task? I would think you'd just need to create a crossover domain and place it on the PARENT field but that doesn't seem to work.
Is this possible?
thanks,
John
Give this a try one for each field you want to copy - can't promise it'll work but its quick to try it
insert into appfielddefaults (app,defaultvalue,objectname,attributename,appfielddefaultsid) values
('WOTRACK',':OWNEROBJECT.PROBLEMCODE','WOACTIVITY','PROBLEMCODE', appfielddefaultsseq.nextval);
Stop and start the app server after insert

Yes, you can try doing screen defaults if you want it to happen in app only. Crossover domain should work, but IBM has a habit of "turning off" validation / actions when they set fields which could explain why it isn't. You could also accomplish it with an automation script.

There are a few options depending upon what you want/need the information for. Here are a couple:
1) Create fields on the workorder application and just reference the values via a relationship. (child parent = parent wonum and child siteid = parent siteid) This will populate the fields for viewing on the Child workorder.
2) Create an escalation that runs once (I usually set to run every 15 min) and values will be populated into the Child fields. This can cause issues if you have super fast data entry people unless you add a clause to only populate from Parent field if the Child field is null.

We use an automation script to pass custom field data from parent to child when the pm work order is generated. Maybe the script would be applicable to you.
