I am having trouble displaying choices of List Field in Parent table

[AM24]

I have a table that extends another table. On the extended table, I have a list field called Relationship, whose choices appear as below.

On the parent table, it appears like this:

Is there any easy fix to get these choices to show up in the parent table? Thanks.

Additional Information about setup:

I did not create Relationship on the parent table. I'm not supposed to create new fields on the parent table. There is a one to one relationship between the tables and I was able to have the relationship field appear on the parent table through form layout.

I mean there is a reference field, which is the u_table2_ref from earlier. So I can access fields and most field types show up properly in Table 1. Its just choices in list fields which don't show up properly, which I just have not been able to figure out.

Okay, I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.. but since it's a dot-walked field, you would need to have the reference field (i.e. u_relationship) populated first to use the fields from the referenced record. Has this field been populated?

[AM24]

Yes, the field has been populated.

Hmm, I tried it in my PDI and it seems like you can only modify what is already selected in the referenced record.

There must be a reason why, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any document.

Do you have to use the list type field? It works fine with the choice type.
