I'm making a dataset control that will sit on a form. I'm also trying to pull in additional data if it exists from a lookup control, but when I add it and hook it up to a value on the form the dataset stops loading.

Report<property name="lookupField" display-name-key="lookupField" description-key="lookupField" of-type="Lookup.Simple" usage="input" />
That's all I've done and when I configure it with a value the control dataset stops loading. Is this not allowed?
Is this bug fixed or anyone have any approach which can help here, since I am also facing the same issue with my grid control. I need 3 lookup inputs for performing some operation on grid command buttons, but the grid stops rendering on setting values of the lookups.
It's just a control that sits on a lookup and allows you to embed a form from that related entity.

It seemed to be picking up the changed value when the underlying field changed even when it was usage="input". I would want to retest this to confirm, but I'm sure that was how it was behaving (that's definitely the way it is behaving for my Lookup PCF which has a different lookup field as an input property).
I've not heard of Form Component Controls; are they new / preview?
Thanks @skoofy5, that's the same thing I ended up doing. Its not ideal as it only picks up the saved value, not whatever is currently selected in the control, but it's enough to get it working for now. Hopefully we will get a fix for this sometime soon.
I've not heard anything about a fix.
I ended up writing my own query by grabbing the current form id/etn and added a text param property where I would set the schema name of the lookup.
