I'd like to add a field to the contact record that associates the contact to a second account, as a Board Member.
I've added a Board Member field to the layout view, but can't figure out how to associated it to an account without getting the "Multiple controls with the same ID 'Account_ID' were found." error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Adding a second account realtionship can be painful. One way to reduce the effort is to create two custom fields in the Contacts module, BOARD_MEMBER_ID and BOARD_MEMBER_NAME. You will also need to create a new JavaScript function to call when a board member is selected.
Will you be creating a special Board Member popup window, or can any account be a board member?
The Account would not be a board member... but a board member would be associated w/ an account.
For instance: John Doe would be associated with an account ABC Company as the CEO. He would be associated with the account XYZ Company as a board member.
So then the person could be a board member of multiple accounts. That can make things easier, but it would also require an additional database table and an additional user control to display the list of companies that the person is a board member of.
