Good evening,

Is it possible to set the value of the parent record as the default 
value of the child records?

Assume you have a general course 'Stress' with x (not default, but 
entered by the user) minimum and x maximum participants.
When you create a child record, you want this x min and x max value as 
the default value for the child record min and max values.
(They are mostly the same, but sometimes they can be different)
In this way the user doesn't have to fill them all the time.

Another example could be that you repeat the course Title in the child 
records. In this way the user can find them more easily in the list view 
if you set this title as label of the child records.

I see solutions when you copy a record, but not when you create a child 
record.

Is this possible, or is there a better way to solve this situations?
Any advice or direction is really appreciated.

Greetings,
Koen
