Hello

I have a problem using dropdown list , this dropdown is linked with a table on SharePoint and i saw a few tutorials about "how use a dropdown" and it´s pretty simple just link you dropdown with data source and go to "Item" and put the field but in my case this didn´t work

Field "Owner " contents names but there i can´t see user´s names instead is "Record"

When i go to dropdown is this way but nothing is on there

If i change Item to any different field with something different to "Record" it work right

Could you help me ?, maybe is very simple but i can´t find what i´m doing wrong

Thanks

Try something like
'Fixed Assets Catalog'.Owner.Name

I assumed Name is the field name within the Owner lookup that has the name that you want to display. If not, change it to the correct name.

Let me know if this works.

That's because those are records (since they are lookups). If recorder is your column name, try populating the dropdown with the following Items property:

'Fixed Assets Catalog'.Owner.Recorder

Let me know if that helps.

Is Owner a lookup field? If so, please let me know its definition.
