6 years agoI think, I understand. You seem to need to be able to flat up text information from children up to the Parent to either use on a Report on the parent table or to look up down to children.
You can use the relatively new Combined Text Summary field for this.
Make a single formula field on the Milestone Table and be sure to make it sort in the correct sequence like this
List(" ", "Milestone: " & ToText([Milestone#),
[Milesone Name],
"S/B date: " & ToText([Should be competed by]),
"Act date: " & ToText([Actually completed]))
Then use a combined text summary field to float up that text to the Parent Project. You may want to have the filter omit Milestone 4. Call the field [Combined Text Summary Milestones 123]
Then you will see that the fields appears in a bubble format (although it is clickable as a link).
If you want nicer looking text you can do this as a formula text field.
SearchAndReplace([Combined Text Summary Milestones 123]," ; ", " \n")
Then you can look that up down to your milestone table and use it on reports.
