Hi Anurag,

I have check this out, display is enabled for particular field in parent table. even though I am facing this issue.

Field 1 have a data of 50 characters in Table 1, When I refer the field in table 2; It showing only 32 characters.

AS Kalai mentioned that reference field only needs to be 32 characters long as it holds sys_id. Now what you need is to increase the width of the field to show the full text , I think. What i mean is, display value is there but you cant view it fully.

Can you confirm that this is the issue??

what is the display field of location table ? are you having correct value on the location record?

What you need is to increase the width but from the CSS perspective. To get that you have to make right click on the reference field and make click on 'Personalize style' option. There, you will be able to add the CSS property called 'width:XXXpx'. You will see how the width is increased.
