related list not showing up on custom object

hello again folks.

 

i have a custom object A, with a master detail relationship to custom object B (A master, B Detail). I have another custom object C that has a lookup field to custom object B. 

 

i have added the related list for custom object B to the layout page for custom object C. However, when i associate B to C via the lookup field on object C (mapped to B), it does not show up in the related list on the details page for C.

 

any thought are much appreciated.

 

thanks

Thanks,

 

I suspect that the Room__c.Booking__c field isn't populated with the Id of the Booking__c record that you are looking at.  

 

What is the ID of the Booking__c record, and what is the value of the Room__c.Booking__c field?

Based on the way you describe the relationships A would have a related list of child B objects, and B would have a related list of child C objects, while since C has no children there would be no related list....

 

UNLESS, there is a lookup field on B that points to C, in which case the related list on object C would only display those records where B.C__c is equal to the Id of the C__c record being viewed.

 

Hope that makes sense (and is right)!

makes some sense! :) let me update the scenario....

 

I have custom object Hotel__c (Master), custom object Room__c (Detail to Hotel__c master/detail relationship), and then i have Booking__c....

 

Booking__c has a lookup to Room__c

Room__c has a lookup to Booking__c

 

i have a hotel called the great inn, with a room called the great room, and a booking called the great booking. the lookups are populated on all object records to associate them all together.

 

on the Room__c detail page in the Booking__c related list, the great room booking shows up as expected. however, on the Booking__c detail page in the Room__c related list, the great room does not show in the list as i expect it to. 

 

i must be missing something here because it seems like the room should be showing up in the related list on the booking, and that's what i need to happen. 

 

thanks for your time and help! let me know if you see me doing something wrong here...

 

thanks

ahhhh!!! i can't believe i missed that one. room__c wasn't populating after the booking__c was created - only the other way around...

 

thank you so much for you help!
