Parent Child Relationship Help

Hello -

In one of my apps I have a parent child relationship and I would like a field on the parent level that shows the most recent value in one of the child fields for that record.

As an example:
Parent table - Projects
Child table - Meeting Notes

One of the fields in the child table is "Meeting Outcome" which is a multiple-choice type field. This is the field I would like to show in the Projects table.

Example data:

Projects table:
Record ID Project Name Meeting Outcome
1 Project ABC Approved

Meeting Notes table:
Related Project Meeting Date Meeting Outcome
1 12/10/2022 Additional Info Needed
1 12/11/2022 Meeting Rescheduled
1 12/13/2022 Approved

The last/most up to date value in Meeting Outcome is the value desired in the Projects table so the user can see the outcome of the last meeting.

What is the best method to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

Can you tell us the definition of most recent?
Can we be guaranteed that the most recent one has the highest Record ID and that these children are entered in date sequence or do we need to get the meeting with the most recent date. 

It's just a little simpler to grab the one with the highest Record ID.
