Good morning, everyone. I'm dealing with a rather inexplicable situation here.
My co-workers have created two global table for importing some contacts from the MS CRM (at this moment, they're empty). I created two fields in the app that I'm developing, each field using one of the two tables as the reference. However, when I opened the table (both in the form view and in the workspace), these two fields simply would not appear.
I tried creating ACLs for these fields, but that didn't solve the issue.
I tried creating several other fields that are not "Reference" fields. These fields appeared normally.
I tried accessing the global tables themselves, and I was able to.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Thank you in advance!

Hello.
I only checked whether the fields are in the form views. I didn't check the XML. Could you tell me how to check the XML?
Thank you.

Hi @C_dric Chen ,
go the record > form view > right click > show XML
Check the XML with your field name
Thank you,
