Notes
This example is taken from a Courier application. The pick up and delivery addresses for the job need to default to the address of the company ordering the courier.
The customer field (#161926) is set to a Lookup - External Entity Field.
Two External Entity Detail fields use this field ID to reference the address, Address 2 and city fields in the underlying company record.
An additional External Entity Details field is used to display an account Note field (a custom field associated with the company record).
If necessary each of these values can be overwritten once the record is saved.
