Hello Experts,

I have a scenario, where I have two tables say 'summer_data' and 'winter_data' and I have a single lookup filed in both the table named as 'week' from table 'Dimweek'.

I also have two entity forms for summer and winter data insertion in 'summer_data' and 'winter_data' respectively.

on those two forms I have lookup field 'Week'

Now, I want to restrict the 'week' lookup field to display only summer weeks i.e. between month May to August on summer form similarly I want to display week lookup field to display winter weeks. i.e. between December to Feb.

what are the best possible ways to achieve this?

Can I use different views from 'Dimweek' table to achieve desired result?

Hello,

I am responding to meet the SLA of this thread. You should be able to populate the lookups using a custom fetch and the criteria you described.

I will allow others to address this technical implementation.
This seems to be a good thread for this question: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Portal-Execute-Dynaics-365-FetchXML-from-entityform/td-p/636807

Hi, we can't achieve that with OOB configuration, you can add JS/jQuery and reload the data.

Please take a look at this article to see how to add JS to a lookup window in the Portals: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2021/01/24/power-apps-portals-custom-lookup-filter/
