Hi,

I have the below issue:

**Parent File:**  
File\_Id: 009  
Source: MP  
AMT: 2311  
_Reason\_R: -_  
_Time: -_

**Child File:**  
File\_Id: 1232  
File\_Id\_link:009  
Source: MP  
AMT: 324  
_Reason\_R: AAA_  
_Time: 9:00_

So essentially the parent is missing the Reason\_R: & Time:. Where as the child which is created has this. This child also has the parents file\_id\_link.

I need the Reason\_R: & Time: from the child to be joined into the parent?

is this possible, if so how and what kind of solution is best to go ahead with this?

**Further comment below:**

I need the Reason\_R: & Time: from the child to be added into the parent file, whenever a child is created
