Per-record currency symbol: the Amount follows a Currency field
A value (currency) field can show its symbol based on a currency picker on the record itself, instead of always using the organization currency. It works for any object: on a Sales order, for example, the Amount field can follow a Currency field with options like USD, EUR, BRL, MXN. It's pure configuration, no code.
By default, every value field shows your organization currency symbol. When you work with different currencies per record, you can make the amount follow the currency chosen on that record: each order, opportunity or deal shows its value with the right symbol (US$, R$, €, and so on).
How to set it up
- Create (or use) a select field on the object for the currency, with one option per currency. Give each option the currency code as its value: BRL, USD, EUR, MXN, ARS, CLP, COP, PEN.
- Open Settings and then Fields, pick the object and edit the value field (currency type).
- In Currency field, select the picker you created. Save.
From then on, the amount shows the symbol of the currency chosen on the record, on the form, in the table, in the detail view and on the board. Switch the currency on the form and the symbol changes right away.
