Display parent field to child record

[reginabautista]

Hi guys

I have a custom table which was extended from the Task table (Sec Incident). I have then extended Sec Incident to create a child record(Remediation Task).

I am having two issues in the Remediation Task table:

1. I have dot walked to the parent table and added the 'Parent' field but the icon to open the record is not displaying.

2. 'Requester' field is not displaying but it is displaying to admins..

Could you let me know what I could be missing please.

Thanks

Regina

You might find this helpful. There is a property you can set to make the reference icon appear for read-only reference fields.

Make reference icon available for read only fields on form

Thanks Chuck, I believe this may already be set to true as a user with appropriate role to read the parent record, I can see the icon..Could this be an issue with ACL? User can open parent record but there are no fields displaying on the form.

Update: I have updated the READ record in the parent table's ACL and did a GR to the child record. if the current user = assigned to in the child record, then grant the user READ access to the parent table. This has resolved the issue.
