title: NetSuite workflow to update a record of different type
body: <p>I have two NetSuite records that have a parent-child relationship. Let's call them P and C</p>
  
  <p>The Child records (e.g. C123,124, etc) are listed on the Parent (P987) in a sublist. </p>
  
  <p>I have a need to display the most recently updated child record (e.g. C124) in the main area of the related Parent record. I need to display 3 fields from that child record: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>name</li>
  <li>field1</li>
  <li>field2</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Second question: I might need to make one or more of fields displayed above (e.g. field1) editable. If so, would I have to store that as fields on the parent also?  And then how would I keep this "copy" updated in sync with that specific Child record?</p>
  
  <p>It doesn't have to be a workflow but I prefer to use "supported" features (such out of the box workflow actions) as much as possible and avoid customization by scripting.  If you don't think it can be done without a script then please be clear.</p>
  
  <p>P.S. Fairly new to NetSuite but not the concepts.</p>
  
  <p>P.P.S. no I am not happy about the problem above and wish I could prevent all silly requests. lol</p>
