auto-populating
Title

How to understand the process of auto-populating the Number (Title)?

Hello everyone!

Have possibly a dumb question.

I have a section (Classic UI) where the number (title) is auto-populating from 3 different lookups. So basically, the title consists of 1st lookup +2nd lookup +3rd lookup.

I need to understand the logic behind this and how to customize it (to change these fields if needed). I do not see any business rule or business process involved in it. Is there any other way it could be done, except coding? How to find the process behind it, or else?

Thanks in advance.

Here are a few ways this could be happening now to check: 

  1. Entity sub-process. Open the entity object, click on Events and look for any events that have a checkmark as checked. To view what these events are doing (C# code), go to Actions and select "Open process". You'll find script tasks there.
  2. Code on the page, possibly look for code on the page that creates the name
  3. Entity event listener, look for C# code schemas, typically with EventListener in the name
  4. Process, edit a record and look in process logs immediately to see what might have run, but doesn't sound like this
