    The circular reference error usually means there is some other code in your app causing the issue though.

    Hi @Jyoti_avtar ,

     

    The error called circular reference, which indicates that in this formula the surname column is used anywhere else such as the search text box default value. It leads to search the surname column using the surname column values, which is not allowed.

     

    Best regards,
