Intake Form Lookup Column not showing

Hello, 

 

I have created a simple Intake Form for Data entry and storing the data into a dataverse table Called "Intake Request". The issue is I have to use 2 lookup columns 1) Request Category and 2) Request Sub Category. They both are lookup columns coming from a different Dataverse table. The Request Sub Category will populate based on the Request Category which I was able to achieve. 

 

The issue

1) whenever I try to view the form from the gallery after submitting it. The Request Sub Category field does not populate It is showing as a blank field. PLUS in the back end. Both Request Category and SubCategory Columns are stored as ID instead of the name. 

2) When I am trying to create a gallery both my Request Category and Sub Category columns are not showing any information which is very important. 

 

Does anyone know why?

@gogoinggone , The reason that they are showing numbers, is your Lookup Columns link to a Dataverse Table where you have your Primary Name Column as a number. Lookup Columns in Dataverse Table Editor will show the Primary Name Column VALUE of the table that they are relating to. 

 

Check this Example:

'Request Category' is a lookup column to another table : You should write the formula this way:

ThisItem.'Request Category'.CategoryName

NOTE: Change (CategoryName) with whatever column you want to show from the Parent table

@AhmedSalih  So I tried using the ThisItem.'Oss_Cat'.Request Category but its still not working. 

Oss_Cat is where I getting my Categories

Req_Categories is where I am getting my sub Categories related to Categories. 

All this information is getting submitted to the 'Oss_Intake Requests' using a form.

@gogoinggone, I don't think you are using the correct table: You should use the lookup column name, not the table, the lookup column in Intake Request table

 

ThisItem.TheLookupColumn.Request Category
