Copy address Account To Contact: empty field

[cise]

Hi,
the default copy addresses algorithm (Account to Contact) leave the original Contact fields value for each empty field in Accounts address. I would like, instead, to copy the empty field and prevent inconsistent addresses.

How can I do this?

You need to:
Edit custom/modules/Contacts/metadata/editviewdefs.php
Define the attribute

 'displayParams' => array(
  'call_back_function' => 'some javascript function',
), 
  

This function should accomplish the same logic in set_return, initially defined in jssource/src_files/include/javascript/sugar_3.js;
You need to customize your custom function in order to double check empty field from Accounts x populated field in Contacts before updating it.

Hi Andopes,

Thanks for the tip as was looking for solution for the same problem regarding copy address. As new to sugar was not sure to which field I have to add the attribute 'displayParams' => array(
'call_back_function' => 'some javascript function',
),

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Tanya
