Hi,

I have the field u_site (Reference field to u_original_sites table) on the incident table. How can I make this field expandable in order to show other fields from u_original_sites table?

Hi @Alon Grod ,

 

The reason is that the type is a "list" field and not a reference to a related table. It should have looked like below (see the "type" field:

A list field can't be expanded as it doesn't relate to anything. If you need to have it expanded, you need to create a new reference field to the specific table, and put it in instead of the current "site" field .

@Alon Grod  I see that the field type (of u_site) is List, you cannot do dot walking on a List type field.

As List type field is basically a multi select value.

 

Please mark this answer helpful and correct answer, if it helped.

 

Thanks
