Dot-walk display false fields do not populate data

[abrouf]

Hello Gurus,

Dot-walk field doesn't work independently, it populates data only when data is selected from same reference field.

As example if I refence Number field of incident table, it works perfectly, since it's display true field, then if I dot walk Description field from same incident table, data doesn't populate unless selecting the data from same reference field.

Any feedback or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sorry, I'm not entirely following your example. Can you clarify what you are looking for or share screenshots of your example?

Let's say you are on the Incident table; you have a reference field to User (sys_user) table via the field Caller. Through Configure > Form Layout, you could dot-walk into Caller.First Name and it would display the user's first name as a string field on the Incident record. If the user did not have a first name saved on their sys_user record, it would appear empty.

That I know and all fields have data and data is appearing from display - true field, not from display-false field, how to achieve that?

Are there ACLs that are preventing a user from seeing the data? Open the module "Debug Security Rules" and you can see every field any any ACLs that are running.

Yes, I did, ACL is fine.
