Lookup Create Setup Rules
- If a Folio Lookup has the Create New Setting turned on, the Target Folio Template can have Folio Lookup fields but these cannot have the Create New Settings turned on.
- Folio Lookup fields with Create New support only one Target Folio Template.
- If the Source Folio Template with the Folio Lookup field with Create new is exposed on a public link, the Save & Return to Form Later must be set to 'yes' and the Target Folio Template must also have its public link enabled.
- Logged in users may use the Create Link or Public Link to create the Target Folio record OR must have access rights.
- If the Folio Lookup field with Create New is Mandatory:
- On a Public Link the Target Folio record must be created before the Source Folio record.
- On a Create Link or if a logged in user is creating a new folio record the Target Folio record must be created before the Source Folio record.
- When the Source Folio record is in any workflow stage the Target Folio record can be a draft or created.
- When the Source Folio record has been submitted for approval then the Target Folio record must be created.
