Hello;

Appreciate if someone can advise me when setup method is executed? Based on what?
Example code is below (from payment_entry.js):

    setup: function(frm) {
            frm.set_query("paid_from", function() {
                    var party_account_type = in_list(["Customer", "Student"], frm.doc.party_type) ?
                            "Receivable" : "Payable";
                    var account_types = in_list(["Pay", "Internal Transfer"], frm.doc.payment_type) ?
                            ["Bank", "Cash"] : party_account_type;

                    return {
                            filters: {
                                    "account_type": ["in", account_types],
                                    "is_group": 0,
                                    "company": frm.doc.company
                            }
                    }
            });

            frm.set_query("party_type", function() {
                    return{
                            "filters": {
                                    "name": ["in",["Customer","Supplier", "Employee", "Student"]],
                            }
                    }
            });

            frm.set_query("paid_to", function() {
                    var party_account_type = in_list(["Customer", "Student"], frm.doc.party_type) ?
                            "Receivable" : "Payable";
                    var account_types = in_list(["Receive", "Internal Transfer"], frm.doc.payment_type) ?
                            ["Bank", "Cash"] : party_account_type;

                    return {
                            filters: {
                                    "account_type": ["in", account_types],
                                    "is_group": 0,
                                    "company": frm.doc.company
                            }
                    }
            });

I think this is used typically to set up the look up values in the link field.
