Fields related to link field do not appear

[MiM]

Hi all ,
I created doctype with name [Resignation] with two fields Employee [Link/Employee] and Employee Name [Read Only/employee.employee_name] .

But when i select employee the name does not appear

This is weird. After saving did the name appear ?

Check your variable that you are referencing from Employee i.e. employee_name is it correct or not

[MiM]

Variable that is referencing to Employee is correct
and the name does not appear after saving

[root13F]

Any errors or so found in console or the bench start trace ?

[root13F]

Wait, see that data type of Employee Name field - why is it Read Only and not Data ?

Change it to Data and I think it should solve your problem.

[MiM]

No error in console

but in network the url as shown in pic
the variable fetch sent empty
when you try to pass employee_name it will work

[MiM]

No i did it Data and it did not work
and Read only is working in attendance doctype

Same problem. Did you find a solution yet?

You don’t have to put employee.employee_name in options.

Put in on “Obtener de” box…

in my example, library_member is the link field

For any one who might be wondering about it, the solution that worked in my case was:

Add Link Field Lets Say “Customer Name”, the name of the field when saved will be customer_name.

Now to bring customer’s mobile no, create a field named Mobile No, type will be Read Only and in Fetch From section, you will need to write customer_name.mobile_no

This will fetch data correctly.

Hi,
You should mention employee.employee_name in Fetch From column not in Options
