Hello, I’m trying to reduce the number of queries I’m using and wondered if anyone had a scenario like mine they could help with. I have 2 tables, clients & leads linked by the client\_id, so when a lead is added to the client, the client\_id also gets inserted into the leads table. All good so far. I now need to display all leads but also have the client name from the clients table added. I’ve done this via a query so far, but its not ideal as there are 23000+ records and it then becomes uneditable. Is there any method to pulling/linking the client name into the leads table when adding a new lead to that client, so Id have client\_id (1017) & client\_name (gary brett) added to the lead record. I’m using mysql by the way. Thank you ---

I wonder if this is a possibility? Instead of the default add new record button, could I create a custom button with a URL maybe to do the same which inserts the client\_name into a field? So, client collection at the top with client record. Linked leads collection below for ‘Add New Lead To Client’. Could I then somehow pre populate the client\_name (and any other details I may need. Click ~ mymodal/#clientname#clientemail for example?
