You can do it in the following ways:

  • In a @PostConstruct annotated method in the entity class. Use DataManager to load the Vendor.
  • In a Customer browser by providing the Vendor to the CreateAction.
  • In the initNewItem() method of the Customer editor.
  • In a BeforeInsertEntityListener for Customer entity. In this case, you will not see the reference in UI until the entity is committed.
