Ebla Dynamic Logic Plus

Smart relationship automation for cleaner data, faster entry, and safer deletes.

Overview

Ebla Dynamic Logic Plus adds relationship-based automation to standard EspoCRM forms. It helps administrators:

  • auto-fill related link fields,
  • filter selectable records based on other links,
  • trigger recalculation on linked records,
  • cascade remove selected linked records,
  • block deletion when protected links still contain records.

All features are configured per entity from the admin interface.

Use Cases

  1. Contact -> Account auto-fill: Choosing a Contact can auto-populate its related Account.
  2. Dependent record selection: Contact lookup can be filtered by selected Account.
  3. Formula refresh trigger: Changing a child record field can trigger updates on linked parent records.
  4. Safe cleanup: Removing a record can also remove selected child records.
  5. Delete protection: Deletion can be blocked until specific linked records are removed.

Key Features

  • Linked Field Automation (legacy label in UI: Associated Links)
  • Cascade Update Triggers
  • Cascade Remove
  • Links Must Be Empty Before Remove

Configuration

Go to Administration -> Entity Manager -> {Entity} -> Dynamic Logic Plus.

Dynamic Logic Plus Configuration

Use this section to define dependencies between link fields:

  • Parent Field: the controlling link,
  • Child Fields: links affected by the parent,
  • Filter Hidden: apply filtering silently in selection UI.

What happens at runtime:

  • Selecting a child link can auto-fill the parent link when relation data exists.
  • Changing the parent link clears dependent child links.
  • Child link selectors are filtered using the parent link value.

Associated Links Configuration

Note

The admin panel currently provides up to 4 mapping rows per entity.

Note

"Filter Hidden" still applies filtering logic, but hides the filter behavior from end users.

2) Cascade Update Triggers

Use Link + Triggering Fields to define when linked records should be re-saved.

Typical use case: recalculate parent formulas when child values change.

Cascade Updaters Configuration

3) Cascade Remove

Select links that should be removed automatically when the current record is deleted.

Cascade Remove Configuration

Select links that must be empty before deletion is allowed.

Links Must Be Empty Configuration

Warning

The same link cannot be used in both Cascade Remove and Links Must Be Empty Before Remove at the same time.

Example Scenario

Payment automation example:

  • Contact selection fills Account.
  • Orders list is filtered by selected Account and Contact.
  • Changing Amount triggers updates for linked Orders.
  • Deleting a Payment can remove linked Payment Attempts.
  • Deleting is blocked if protected links still have linked records.

See the full walkthrough: Dynamic Logic Plus Example.

Notes

  • The configuration action is admin-only.
  • Changes are applied to metadata and become active after normal cache/metadata refresh flows.
