SYMPTOMS
You create two 1: N relationships between the same two entities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. When you create a new related record from the referenced entity, both lookups for the related record are populated.

This problem only occurs when you create a new record. Updates to existing records will not automatically populate both lookup values.

For example, you create two 1: N relationships between the account and the contact entities. When you create a new contact from within the account form, both lookups for the account will be pre-filled.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because there is only one entity map per entity to entity relationship.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The same results will occur if you use the InitializeForm message in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK.
