Simple Add column Lookup

Posted on by TarrasQ 41

Despite knowing the syntax being 

AddColumns('Portal Comments', "CaseNumberLookup", LookUp(Cases,??A??=??B??, 'Case Number'))

I can not work out how to make it work in my scenario.

 

I am attempting to creating a table of Portal comments,  but I want it to also show the Case Number (Later I will filter from case number).I am struggling to work out what the ID's are which join the tables and how to reference them. Screen shots attached from dynamics.

 

I suspect since who ever created the relationships originally called them all 'regarding' is making this harder than it should be.

 

Edit:

Looks like I found a solution.

 

AddColumns( 'Portal Comments', "CaseNumberLookup", AsType(ThisRecord.Regarding,Cases).'Case Number'
