How to display related field value from a grid edit dropdown selector (rather than record id#)

Question

I have a grid edit table report that requires the user to select the "Related Content Allocation" before editing the rest of the columns/fields. However, the dropdown is displaying the related field's record ID, which isn't very user-friendly. Is there a way to display other related field values in this dropdown rather than the record ID# easily?

Have you set a Proxy field for that related Content Allocation field and included it on the grid edit report? Edit the field properties and set a proxy field from one of the lookup fields.

I have, but it won't display in Grid Edit mode for some reason.

Is the first column of the Record Picker in Advanced settings for the table set to something useful and not Record ID#

Yes, it is set to a non-record ID # field.
