Hello,
What is the best way to link two entities together in IFS Cloud?
More specifically, I can pull any field from another entity by creating a read only custom field for the main entity that references that field and links on some key, but there isn’t an option to reference the entire entity.
I can go through and make custom fields for every single field the other entity has, but that seems a bit tedious. I’m sure there is a way to do it, but whenever I set a custom field to persistent, and select the data type as reference, it does not seem to pull information, or give me an option to define the link between the two entities. The only thing I can do is define which columns in the entity view to pull in a list of values, which again, isn’t what I want.
Hello
You can create an entity association to link 2 different entities.
This can be done through a Projection Configuration. Please find an example below where we have a custom entity that we have created linked to the project definition entity.
It is important to note that the Key in the child entity needs to be a persistent field and not a referenced field.
On your page configuration , you’ill need to add a binding (using the key mapping defined in the projection configuration) in order to get the propoer filtered data.

Hi
Wouldnt a projection require me to create a custom entity and a new page rather than modifying the Business Opportunity page?
