Text Lookup field shows "error displaying report" instead of value

I have two text lookup fields that are displaying the same error: However, the same two lookup fields display properly in the form for the child table: Is anyone familiar with this error...

OK, I thought that this was a report fink field but it is a simple lookup field.

Can you try making that lookup field over again and see if that fixes the issue. It feels very buggy. Just do another lookup on the same relationship.

I think you are right about it being a bug. I made another lookup field and now they both show correctly...strange.

I will try the same for the TP Model field.

Thanks, Mark - have a great weekend!

  OK, so adding a new lookup field fixed the old lookup field. That is more than crazy.

    I've run into this same bug many times, but in my cases it is always with the report link field and not the lookup field. I can fix it in a report link field with the following process, perhaps in some weird way if you performed these steps on the report link field, it would fix the lookup field?
    
    1. Edit the form properties of the report link.
    2. Whatever is selected for 'Base the display on the report' change to anything else.
    3. Save, then repeat the same steps and change it back to what you want.
