Changing account in a contact updates the primary address

[tvandesande]

Hello Everyone,

here's my little problem:
when i edit a contact, and want to change an account that a contact is connected to, when i try to select a new account, the primary address details of a contact are automatically changed to the primary address of the account i've just selected (this happens upon selecting a new account).
can anyone help how to cancel this, i just need to change an account, address has to stay the same.

greetings

Hi tvandesande

Edit the file custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php and look for account_name.
You will find this code:

 'displayParams'=>array('key'=>'billing', 'copy'=>'primary', 'billingKey'=>'primary', 'additionalFields'=>array('phone_office'=>'phone_work')) 
  

Replace by this one:

 'displayParams'=>array('additionalFields'=>array('phone_office'=>'phone_work')) 
  

Go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

Cheers

You can try the following: To create the file, try going to Studio, bring up the Contact module, go to layouts and just modify the editview layout with a small change (anything- bring in a field - you can remove it later). This should create the file since you have now tried to customize the layout. You can then, modify the file as suggested. And then go back to the layout to reverse the change you made.

Hi Andropes,

we do not want to change contact office phone with account office phone number.

As i did follow your instructions , but it does not work for me.
I made a file custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php

FROM

 'displayParams'=>array('key'=>'billing', 'copy'=>'primary', 'billingKey'=>'primary', 'additionalFields'=>array('phone_office'=>'phone_work')) 
  

TO

 'displayParams'=>array('key'=>'billing', 'copy'=>'primary', 'billingKey'=>'primary') 
  

is there any other way?


please help me.....

Thank You,

Hi tvandesande
Edit the file custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php and look for account_name.

This is true for the auto complete function.
But not the popup.
For some reason the popup overrides the "additional fields" - but I never figured out where.
I dumped tons of JS code, tried the popup defs of accounts and contacts, it´s still there.
If anybody has an idea on that?

Ok, this had me started again:
in:
include\SugarFields\Fields\Relate\SugarFieldRelate .php
there´s:

  if($copy_phone) {
              $popup_request_data['field_to_name_array']['phone_office'] = 'phone_work';
            } 
  

Uncommenting it solves the problem.
Phone Office is no longer written into Phone Work of the contact, using the popup to relate an account.

The upgrade safe way to achieve it should be either to set "$copy_phone=0" (anybody how&where?) while calling the popup or something like this to put phone_work in phone_other:

 array (
            'name' => 'account_name',
            'displayParams' => 
            array (             
              'additionalFields' => 
              array('phone_office'=>'phone_other'
              ),
              'field_to_name_array' => 
              array('phone_office'=>'phone_other'
              ),              
            ), 
  

in custom/../editvewdefs.php.

I´ll try and report...
