Re-establishing relationships in migrated databases
I need to understand how to re-establish relationships on existing tables that I have migrated into Quickbase. I know am absolutely missingsomething that is probably pretty obvious. Its an MSAccess database, so its SQL compliant. I have a table with important information in a field that I want to preserve. This is the field in the child table--lets call the field BigInfoValue (a numeric field) and the table ChildTable. I have a tiny table with other information in it that defines what the values in BigInfoValue mean. Lets call this BigInfoParent table, and lets call the fields BigInfoValue (a numeric field I want to relate the tables on which I've also designated the key field), BigInfoTerm, and BigInfoDefinition. I absolutely cannot figure out how to make the two tables link on BigInfoValue. When I try to create a table relationship, with BigInfoParent, Quickbase does not offer me BigInfoValue in the child table as a linking field. It creates a brand-new field called Related BigInfo something something. I've also tried to establish a table relationship with the RecordID field in BigInfoParent to BigInfoValue in the ChildTable. No dice. Quickbase just doesn't offer me the field that I think should be linked. Any help would be appreciated.
Quickbase Actions
I am trying to make a Quickbase action... When a certain action takes place, I would like for a field to be edited, rather than having a new record created. However, the option for a field to be edited is blurred out. I need the field in another table to be edited? What am I missing?
View query record if single record otherwise view query list
I am creating some buttons in a Formula - Rich Text field. They will allow users to quickly jump from one table to the next using the table to table relationships we have set up. Mainly what they will be seeing is a list of related records based on a query. For example, if I am in the Customers Table and I click on the Invoices button it will take me to the invoices table and I can see all the invoices related to that customer. If there is only one invoice I would like the button to take me directly to that invoice record and not view it in list mode. Is there a way to use the query and set up an if statement that would check the length of the query response and if there is only one then view that record. Below is an example of the query code I am using for one of the buttons. URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_INVOICES] & "?a=q&query=" & "{'6'.TV.'" & [Record ID#] & "'}"
Relationships functional question
Hello! Intermediate-level user here and very much enjoyed the former QB forum - hoping to see some familiar faces on here. I am dipping my toes in the waters of fixing a Quickbase app that I didn't actually build - which is great! Something I'm thinking I want to learn more about/perhaps pursue from here. But also feels like the litmus test here - fixing my own Quickbase that I built is one thing, but now getting to know the ins-and-outs of someone else's is - wow. Anyway. One ask from the team I'm refreshing this for, I'm struggling with because I'm not sure this is possible. They want to see on the Table view, a field that populates a date from the related table of the last record. Perhaps there's a formula that I can pull to make this a field. So -- in the simplest terms, I feel like what this field needs to be is: Parent Table owns the field, and that field is points to the Record Date of the newest Child Table record. How can I do this? Is there perhaps a formula field to build? Also - I see my predecessor attempted this, and it is reporting out on several fields..... I don't quite know how to make sure my fix populates everywhere, other than editing the specific existing field. Could I just copy that field, and it'll still report on those records? I know if I "change type" of field, you can often only do that once, and it won't let you change it a second time.

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 and how to resolve? Please let me know what additional information is needed to assist. Thanks in advance for your help! ------------------------------ Melanie Mercadel ------------------------------
