Main Contact or Principal Contact

[zjavierprieto]

Each company should have their own main contact within all the possible related contacts.

Isn't this already possible by adding a custom field with a relation to a person?

@zjavierprieto could you explain with more details how it would work?

@BOHEUS, @lrueegg had the same idea as me, but you have to do another important thing.

You have to deactivate the main contact field on the contact model (because if not you have an useless field in the form, because it'll show you two times the company related and also you will be able to relate the person as two main contacts for companies, which is not typical)

So yeah, it is "solved" with this trick. Of course it is not the best approach because it would be nice to have a 1:1 relation, that's the good way to solve this (and other relations with the cutom data model, i think that there is other times where you'd like to set 1:1 for vertical solutions or sectors.
