Modern Table - How to display foreign (related) fields

Posted on 15 Mar 2025 22:48:27 by 17
I have two Dataverse tables that are related but am unable to figure out how to display fields from a related table in the Modern Table control.
 
Example:
Table User:
 - Full Name
 - Department (as GUID)
 
Table Department:
  - Department (as GUID)
  - Name
  - Department City
 
I need to be able to display the User Full Name and Department City as columns in the same Modern Table. For Items I specify the User table.  Looking at the Fields list in the Table, the Department is shown as a linked (lookup) field and if I select it, the table shows the default column (name). How do I add the Department City as a column in the table? I have been trying different things like AddColumns to the Item which resulted in weird behavior and never what I wanted.  Not sure if there are problems accessing the related fields in the table control due to this being in preview, or I am taking the wrong approach.

    It would be Dot Notation
     
    So ThisItem.LookUp.Record.Property
    or depending on what it is it could just be
     
    ThisItem.LookUp.Property (from the related table)
     
    Meaning you dont "find" it as a selectable column, you have to use Dot Notation to drill down to it.
