IN RECORD TYPE, HOW TO PASS PARAMETER IN A LIST ACTION?

sakthisril0001 You can only pass the parameters with the record related action.We don't have the option to pass parameter at the list action.Can you explain the use case so that we can definitely do the workaround

I have a record lets say A thats a child of record Parent. I will create multiple reports for Parent from child record. Record list action should fetch the parent id from the child record where i am going to configure the record action field and that value should be passed as process model parameter

Use the Foreign key  (i mean the field that you have used in relationship ) Write a query to parent record and get the value and pass it. Is there anything that's blocking you??

to query it, i need some value passed to process model right? I have record list action button in summary view of all child records. I need to fetch the parentid from that child record to create a new record for the parent.

I don't get it's record list action or record action?? can you elaborate it bit more .

Record list action means Action on whole record list not on single record item. Why you configured it inside summary??

New record for parent?? what do you mean by this, If it's new record why you need parent iD??

its a record list action for child record but it should be set with parent id while creation. that parent id is fetched from the record view interface of another child record where the record list action button exists.

Not a good idea, Using Record list action to do this we can't set context for a record list action. 

you need to rethink about your design. Creating a new child record from summary view of child.It's going completely off track. Create a summary view for parent and show all the details of child records in there and use record action of parent to create new child record.

 If you wanna go with your design  you need to use record action of the parent and call it in summary of child record this way , You can fetch parent Id from child and you can pass it. 

If I call record action of parent wont it create a new parent record? I get your point in creating child records when you are using parent record action. But i dont want new parent record. For existing parent record itself i will create multiple child records. is it possible using the above approach? i tried using start process link, that worked like charm but the mail issue is its redirecting to the child record from where i clicked add new report and not showing the new report created.

No, it's not gonna create a new parent record (we are using record action not record list action). Record action takes context , we gonna provide that context (parent id that already exists) from child .

Same things gonna happen with your current approach to . After completion it's gonna come back to summary view of older child record. Sorry to say but your approach is bit wrong. 

Either you need to change your relationship ,It means make the child as parent and Current parent as Look up table or Master table. Or Using above approach i have mentioned

if its gonna redirect then even record action will have same problem. i got it. Will think of another work around.
