Reference Field Not Showing

[TashfiqueH]

Hi

I am having this issue where the magnifying glass is not showing. You can see from my form design the fields Employee.HR, Employee.Manager are showing the magnifying glass where I can choose the record.  But for the Employee.Number and Employee.name it is not showing.

Can you help me?

Hello @TashfiqueH 

• Magnifying glass is visible only for reference field.
• The HR and Manager is a reference field referring to the user table, whereas Number is a string field.
• You can see the configuration of each field by right clicking on the form label and click configure dictionary.

Hope this helps!

So the table I shared is "Leave Request". Inside you can see the reference is employee. So as per dot walking to Employee the Employee.HR and Employee.Manager Field shows. But I dot walked the same way to the Employee.Number and Employee.Name. Shouldn't they have the magnifying glass too? As they are all reference fields.

While Posted below, is my employee table. Which references HR and Manager.

@TashfiqueH  The HR and Manager field are reference fields on Employee referenced table.(As per your screenshot) so the reference icon is visible on your leave request form

Reference icon is visible Not because it is a dot-walked field, It's visible because of the field type 'Reference'.
