Hi All,
I have the below requirement:
EntityA (columns --> entitya_id, name1)
EntityB (columns --> entityb_id, name2)
EntityC
many to one relation to EntityA and also many to one relation to EntityB
columns --> entityc_id entitya_id entityb_id name3
EntityD -- many to one relation to EntityC
columns are --> entityd_id entityc_id name4
1) View should look like:
name1 name2 name3 name4
2) Main Form should like
name1 Textbox
name2 Textbox
name3 Textbox
name4 Textbox
save button
My main problems are:
Active view allows to show related fields, but when the data added - data shows some guid instead of actual data?
Main form allows to add the related entity's one field only as foreign key?
Please suggest how can i implement this scenario. Thank you.
Hi Sik,
Your approach worked. Thank you.
I have created new fields in EntityD as Look up to EntityA and EntityB like N:1. It started showing the output in quick view form.
Hi @Anonymous ,
As far as I know, if you don't consider JavaScript development, It is only supported to show the parent fields on the child record by Quick View Forms or Calculated Fields.
If you want the GrandParent fields(EntityA/EntityB) showing on the GrandChild record(EntityD), I think you might need to establish a 1:n linking EntityA/EntityB to EntityD (which could be copied via mapped fields or workflow from EntityC when you create EntityD) then you can surface EntityA/EntityB fields via Quick View Forms or Calculated Fields on the form.
Note: the parent fields and grandparent fields are all read-only on Child/GrandChild record.
Reference: Presenting Parent Information on a Child Record
Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous, please refer to my other response to your other post. The guid is the foreign key and what's saved in the database, what's shown on the view and forms is the primary field of the entity. This is detailed in one of the links in my other response (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/common-data-service/data-platform-create-entity). Suggest to have a read through them, it would give you the basics.
Good luck
