I am looking at the key field in the child table and contrary to the QuickBase Help files and many community posts, I don't see the option to pick the reference proxy field.

Please see image.

    Does the child table have any lookup fields?  It has to have some lookup fields (at least 1) as candidates to be the Reference Proxy.

    Side note - Reference Proxies are set in your relationship field between your parent/child using a lookup value per coaches comments. From your screenshot - it looks like you're looking at the key field in your table, not specifically the field that defines the relationship

    Your relationship shows the table as a CHILD table; not the parent.  Your Trust Roles would need to be a PARENT for a Proxy Field selection to be made in the specific relationship connection field

    The Key field itself will not have a Proxy field; the Related Reference field pointing to the key field will.

    Great, I'm not sure how I got so mixed up, but I found it now and have created a proxy. Thank you!
