2 doctype in timeline field?

Frappe Framework Customization

Hi,

I have custom doctype which has 2 link fields associated with Customer and Lead doctype respectively.

Field 1 : link_to (Select) : Options-Lead, Customer
Field 2 : lead (Link) : Options -Lead , (eval:doc.link_to== “Lead”)
Field 3: customer (Link) : Options -Customer (eval:doc.link_to== “Customer”)

Timeline Field of this custom doctype can take only one field, either Lead or Customer.

Now issue is, I want this custom doctype timeline field to be associated with Lead or Customer based on selection in “link_to” field.

Any suggestions?

Are you saying that there is a Field 4: timeline (Link) that is also in your custom doctype? What is the timeline field and what do you mean by: [quote]
associated with Lead or Customer
[/quote]
?

@Dbone
Timeline field seems to be core functionality of Doctype, you can find it in Setup → Doctype → Open Any Document (or Doctype)
please check the screen shot.

I’m not sure how to change that field since it’s part of the initial setup of the doctype.

You could however leave the timeline field blank and write a custom script to insert information into the “Communication” doctype. You would just send “Lead” or “Customer” to it’s “timeline_doctype” field along with the other information needed. Just export some data from the “Communcation” doctype to see what you need to send and in what format.

Thanks @Dbone,

It’s a good Idea, do you have any custom script which I can pass in form submit event to update communication doctype?
