Change field value on another form

Change field value on another form

Hi,
i have and aplication made of two forms:

1) applicants
2) tasks


in the applicants form, there is a field named "action", that means the action i have to do with the applicant, maybe call, email, meet.


now, in the tasks form, obviously i entry my tasks: the question is: when i wntry another task, may i have a field that insert the value in the "action" field in the other form?
of course it should be the right applicant


example:

i have an applicant called "mad horse", is "action" field has the value "call" (cause i have to call him). Then, i make another task (so another form) called "call mad horse", i have a lookup field to select the applicant "mad horse", and i have a field named "action", just like the other field in applicant form.
Using this field in task form, may i change the field in the "mad horse" record in the applicant form?

thank, and sorry for the english, i'm italian i like spaghetti, not languages :-D

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure.

                                                              Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.

My company is currently using Quickbooks Premier the Australian version. Before we can consider moving the service we would need to have the following addressed : 1.Payroll 2.BAS ( business activity statement ) for tax purposes 3.Some form of local backup and possible export of data to a widely accepted format.

So we can use the stripe app as a POS terminal. Brilliant news. Can we hope that the Books App might add this feature ASAP.
