Trying to add a Related List to a custom table, but only have Attachments as an option

paulchicago5 · ‎03-25-2022

I created a custom table to track web site certificates. The table is built out with forms and works fine. I would like to associate items from my servers table to the table, but when I try to configure Related Lists in my new table the only option that appears in Attachments. Every other table to relate to is missing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi @paulchicago5

related lists are only offered if other tables have reference fields which are pointing to your custom table. And therefore you are only offered attachments as attachments can be related to all tables. So on your server table add a field of type Reference and type of your custom table. Then check again.

The other way of building related list between is creating relationships. This approach is used if there is no reference field on one table. But you have to find a rule how these two tables are related to each other.

Kind regards
Maik
