Lookup from Child Table

Good Day!

I have 4 tables that talk to each other. 

Project Table Will update the Supervisor that manages the Account. 
  • This filters down and updates our Project Session Table with that supervisor name
  • This filters down to Employee Assignment Table with that supervisors name.

The Employee Table houses all the Employees Names which is used when adding an assignment.

I need to find a way to copy any supervisor changes into the Employee Table.

Where I am stuck is that the Project Table is where the Supervisor would be updated.
But I need to pull the supervisor name from any active assignment the Employee has and add it to a Employee table field that is a List Users field. 
If the supervisor is removed, then it should remove that supervisors name from the List Users field on the employee record. 

 Any help is appreciated :)

No problem,
You have the Supervisor Userid on the Employee Assignments record.

Make a text formula text field called [Supervisor in Text format])

Go to the relationships and make a combined text summary field of that field up to Employees.

Make a formula userlist like this with as many parts as you like. 

var text AllSups = ToText([Combined Text Supervisor in text format]);
var User SuperOne = ToUser(Trim(Part($AllSups,1, ";")));
var User SuperTwo = ToUser(Trim(Part($AllSups,2, ";")));
var User SuperThree = ToUser(Trim(Part($AllSups,3, ";")));

ToUserList($SuperOne, $SuperTwo, $SuperThree)
