I have an Account object, a related (master detail) contact object and a custom object Automobile__c that has a lookup to the contact. I would like to display the related Automobile__c records on the Account object as a related list where the Account is the parent of the contact record to which the Autombile__c record is related to.
Is this possible?
Salesforce doesnot allow indirect relationship objects to be displayed on Page layouts.
Workaround is, create a look relationship from Automobile__c to Account and Update this Account lookup field based on the AccountId of the Contact.
i.e.
Contact con = [SELECT Id, AccountId FROM Contact LIMIT 1];
Automobile__c aut = new Automobile__c();
aut.contact__c = con.Id;
aut.Account__c = con.AccountId;
insert aut;
Or, through the process builder you can update account lookup.
Make sure Account Lookup field will not be displayed on the Automobile page layout.
