Hi All, 

One of our customer needs following to be achieved using an Custom Event.

  • When creating a new record in Functional Object window , it needs to fill Description field with concatenated highlighted fields.
  • Description field is mandatory ,so that values has to be filled before saving. 
  • I tried using background job (Deferred_Call) ,but it was not successful as deferred call runs after saving the record.
  • Is this possible to achieve by Custom event? 

Thank You!.

Have you tried having the user fill the Description field with a standard word or phrase like “Blank” or “Needs Update”, then let them fill out the remainder of the record.  Then trigger the even on the save of the record to do a check of the Description and if the entry matches Blank or Needs Update or the standard word, then trigger the even to do an update but after it has been saved once.
