I want to populate a custom text field with the ID of the parent record chosen in another lookup field. What is the best approach towards implementing this? Is trigger the only way with this, or is a non programatic method available?

Thanks in advance.

  • Are Text field and lookup field on the same object?

You can use formula field instead of text if possible. No need to write trigger.
