Status change between related tables

Can you clarify which are the parents and which are the children.

B = parent C = Child

Well, you have two choices, I suppose.  The first is to do summary field of the # of children at various statuses and then use that in a formula to calculate the status of B.

But if you want a change done based on a change to "C", you can create an Actin to edit records.  But to do that you will need to set up a Report Link field on C which links one the Left side of the setup [Related B] to the field on B of [Record ID#].

Then you can set up an Action.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried both and neither seems to fire the change. 

So let's talk troubleshoot the Action.  Did you create the report link field?  If you put the Report link field on the C record, does it show a report of the single B to be updated?

I created the report link but it does not show the B record to be updated

How is the report link field configured - what field is on the left and what field is on the right?

C is on the left B on the right

May I have the names of the actual fields?
