Showing a different Link Field on the Parent Record than the Record ID for the Report Link in a Relationship

Currently I have a relationship between my Purchasing table and Shipping Log table where one Purchase has many Shipping Logs and I have the Report Link set to show a link to the record versus the list...

If the Shipment # is ​Unique and that is a lookup field from Purchasing down to Shipping Logs, then you can make a new Report Link field and configure the the Field Properties to have the Shipment ID# on the left (from the Purchasing table) and the Shipping ID# from the Shipping Logs table on the right.

    The Shipping # is a unique number but it originates in the Shipping Log (Child Table) so I need a way to have it show in the related Purchasing Table record (Parent table)

      Is there only one child shipping log per Parent Purchasing?  Is The Shipping Log# a numeric or text field type?

        Yes, there is only one Shipping Log Child per Purchasing Parent. The [Shipment #] is actually a text formula field listing the actual number with the Trucking Company ID code at the end.

        List("",(ToText([SN#])),[Contact - Code:])
