Auto-sync field of lookup value
This feature has been requested many times in the discussion Field of Lookup Announcement and this post aims to track it separately.
At the moment the value of a 'field of lookup' is a snapshot but once the parent lookup field is updated the values diverge. The new field of lookup is not very useful without auto-syncing the value with the parent.
That said, the field of lookup should have a criteria for when the value should be auto synced: in our experience, sometimes storing initial value as a snapshot is preferred but vast majority use cases will want to have the value synced when the parent data is modified.
There are more cases that need to be thought through such as what should happen for existing records after the field of lookup was added in the schema.
Not directly related to the auto-sync is the Ability to filter by related record's fields as that would eliminate the field of lookup in many cases entirely. My suspicion is that auto-sync might be computationally and storage-wise expensive, hence the filtering by lookup tangent.
