How to retrieve data from the child table in lookup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 166

I have 2 tables - 1 is Document master, and 2 is Document Revision.  A master document can have many revisions, so i setup a 1:N relationship by adding a lookup field in the Document Revision table.

 

I have a Canvas app with a gallery control linked to a collection based on the Document Master table.  I want to include the latest dcoument revision number from the linked Document Revision Table.  

 

I am confused because the lookup field is in the Document Revision table.  How do i pull data in the opposite direction (from the Master Document table).  The relationship was created between the 2 tables.  I am just not sure how to reference it from the Master Documents Table (no field)

 

Thanks

Dave

    I think I was thinking of the wrong solution.  I was trying to add to my Master Document collection data from my child table, so i could display this in the Gallery view.

     

    Instead, i just used Lookup() to lookup the value in the child table.  seems to work OK and does what i wanted, so i am happy.

     

    sorry for posting then answering my own post
