Updating a Child record based on Parent Changes Again

[myra_o]

Hello, 

I am still struggling to update related child records when I make a change to the parent. This is my data structure. Is automation required? Am I supposed to be able to update the parent and have it be reflected in the child automatically? I am going crazy trying to figure out please help.

Child:

No Bot is needed. You can create an action in the child table that reads data from the parent as you know the parent ID. You can use deref expression like [ParentID].[ColumnName]. You can trigger the action from the parent table with "Execute an action on a set of rows from the parent form view... and with the Event action.

The event action was what I was missing! Thank you!
