Update Form from SubForm

I have a form Customer with a field Has Comment(boolean) and a button Comments that opens another form where i can put comments in. When i close the comments form, Has Comments field in my Customer form should be updated but i cant find a way to do it i have tried different triggers on my Customer form using CurrForm.UPDATE but i cant seem get it to work. The only way Has Comments is updated if i open the comment form again.

Code behind Comments button:
CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Customer);
CheckComments.SetCommentForCustomer(Customer);



And this is the code that i have in my CodeUnit
IF pCustomer.FINDSET(TRUE,FALSE) THEN REPEAT
  Comments.RESET;
  Comments.SETRANGE(TableLink,pCustomer.Customer);
  Comments.SETFILTER(Comment, '<>%1','');
  IF Comments.FINDFIRST THEN
    pExecise3Customer.HasComment := TRUE
  ELSE
    pCustomer.HasComment := FALSE;
    pCustomer.MODIFY;
UNTIL pCustomer.NEXT = 0;

    I found the problem. When i press my Comment button it does
    CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Customer);
    CheckComments.SetCommentForCustomer(Customer);
    

    The problem with that is that is that it was running my CheckComment codeunit before i even made any changes. I just moved my codeUnit to OnCloseForm trigger so the codeunit runs after i made the changes and closed the form.

    Have you set the UpdatePropagation property to 'Both'?

    For more info check the Microsoft Docs

    Yes, you are right. With NAV 2009 you can only achive this by using some tricky functions. I have found this blog article for example.
