on update operation and before -



current.description = current.short_description;



I hope this should work


I've never done something like this before.   Where would you build that?


Hi,



Create a business rule on the problem table



GIve it a name of your choice.



select: - before & update at the top right



find_real_file.png



Script: -



current.description = current.short_description;



Then save.



When you go into a problem and add the short description, when you click save, the short description will copy over to the description



Thanks,


Dan


Dan - this is useful info but I think what Subhajit Das offered up is what I need.   I need to copy the existing info from one field to another because an errant copy of one field was put onto a form.



Thank you both!
