So, I have a custom entity, called 'Issues'. Each issue can have a Client (contactType1) with a unique ID in its own field on the Contact table (ID1), and a Vendor (contactType2) with another unique ID in a different field on the Contact table (ID2).
I have some automations that create issues based on an import from SQL each night. the ID1 and ID2 are brought in as text fields.
On my Issues main form, I have a Client name, which is a lookup to the Contact table, and a Vendor name, which is also a lookup to the Contact table.
When the new issue is created, I want to look at ID1 and attach the record to contactType1 in the contact table on the client field. Likewise, to take ID2, find the corresponding vendor in the Contact entity, and pull that name in. It seems like it should be do-able, but I am new to Dynamics, and have been struggling with this for a while that I think I have thought myself in circles, as it were.
If this is possible without JS, that would be great, as I am not as familiar with Javascript
Any help appreciated!
