James Russell Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Is there a way when I insert and accessory I can give it the ability to reference a field of the lamp that it is attaching to and fill one of the record fields it has. Eg. Attaching a barndoor to 1.2K fresnel which has a frame size of 181mm. The field "Frame Size" already has this data on the 1.2K fresnel, can I upon insertion of this barndoor make it reference the lamp it is being attached to and fill its "frame Size" field with that same value?

michaelk Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't know of any way to do that. Does the barn door have a different size gel frame than the instrument? michaelk Quote Link to comment
James Russell Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 It's more the referencing fact that I'm after than the example. I have a lot of data relating to the lights position and features that I want to translate across to the accessory upon insertion. Even if the data was in a record and somehow making the record of the accessory reference or like a paste special field, so it copies whatever the reference is. There's no way to type formula into a record field is there? J Quote Link to comment
James Russell Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 When you place an accessory it automatically does the position and unit number, I just need to make it do that for more fields. The question is how? J Quote Link to comment
