How to expand a reference field to show more fields from the same table

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 .

Hi @Alon Grod ,

 

before seatching the "site" reference field to expand it and see other fields from same related list, first go to the buttom at chose "Show related fields":

If you doesn't do this, you will not be able to expand to other table (below example is on assignment group field:

After chosen the "show related fields" you will instead see:

As long as we talk about reference fields, you will have the possibility to dot-walk.
