snapshot of field with condtion

I have a field on child form i would like to snap shot from a parent form, but only when the child record is created when a specific (drop down) field is set to a condition.

is that possible?

  • There is a way. 

    You have your snapshot field. 

    Your have your live lookup field. 


    Then just make a formula field which be exposed to users as to which of the two fields to use based on the selection.

      thank you for the reply.

      I wasn't clear in the question.

      I have a snap shot field in the child form called serial number. serial number comes form the parent form/ field of the same name.


      i would like the snapshot to take place only when I select a child form / field called "service" and select remove/replace. 

      thx

        The snapshot will fire for all choices.  There is not a way to have it snapshot only some of he time.  That is why I was suggesting a work-a-round as a solution.
