Editable Report link not showing selected related field

I have an editable report link on my form. This form link has a proxy field on it Named SO# (or Assigned SOs in the pictures below).

When I choose a SO from the dropdown, it looks good. But when I click off of it, it disappears. Typically this means the proxy field might not be matched to the filtered report I am using, but I checked and that isn't the case this time.

For reference:
Proxy Field is what is shown in the picture.
Proxy Field is a text field Named SO#
Filtered Report Used to select has only one field - SO#.

I can't figure out why it is blank. Thoughts?

See below: First I select a Service Order. When I click off of it, it flashes the record ID, then goes blank (it is actually there, just visibly blank)




Once saved it will show up correctly.

  • Is there a valid field in the Advanced Properties for the table for the first Record Picker field?

      Yes, but not a great field so I changed it. Still no luck. Perhaps this is a mission for customer support?

        Update:

        Working with Customer Support and we have not pinpointed the issue, but leaning towards it is a bug. One interesting thing: If I create a formula field that is a mirror of the proxy field, and add that as a column in the report, suddenly the behavior is exactly as expected.

        No idea why yet....I tried mirroring other fields, putting dummy text, etc, nothing worked. But for some reason, actually having a mirrored field seems to help??

        Also, I think it works with the related field, but not if using a proxy field.
