  • 1.  My Child Table is not populating the look up fields

    Posted 08-03-2022 14:49
    Hello,
    My Child Table is not populating the look up fields from the parent table even though my tables are connected, and I have added the look up fields to the form.

    I have the proxy reference added to the child table as well.

    thank you,
    Reza

    Just because you make a relationship it does not magically mean that the look up fields will work. The field for [Related Parent] needs to be populated. My guess is that field is not populated.

    Hello Mark,
    in layman's word, what is it that I will need to do to make the Look Up fields populate for the new records. I am not worried about populating the existing records.

    thank you so much.

    Well, you can make the field [Related Parent] required and you will quickly find out where it's not getting populated.  Typically the Add Child button will populate that field in the URL formula.
