Update Field Based on Another Table Data

[chetnadev]

My first 2025 Hacktoberfest submission
The basic use case of this script is Let’s say you want each incident record to store the caller’s department, but this info is only on the user profile.
This script pulls it from the user and updates all related incident records.

Hi @chetnadev

Thank you for your contribution!

Instead of querying the user table (which can be quite large depending on the number of users) to find incidents related to a user, we can directly query the Incident table and dot-walk to the user’s department for mapping.
Also, since Department is already dot-walkable from the user record, it can be displayed directly on the form without creating a custom field.

Just a quick note: this repository already contains similar examples, so please check for duplicates or overlapping use cases before submitting.

Closing this for now. Once you make the suggested changes, feel free to re-open this Pull Request or create a new one.
