Is Connecting multiple Sharepoint Lists Really Worth it?
GaliGonen3555 You are correct. Lookup columns only support below column types:
Single line of text
Number
Date and Time
Lookup (single value)
If you are using other column types, you have to maintain the copy of data in both lists. You can use power automate flows to copy the data from one list to another list whenever a item is created/updated in a list.
Microsoft documentation: Create list relationships by using lookup columns

- Thanks! do you think maybe it would be preferable to try out Microsoft Dataverse and create tables and relationships?
GaliGonen3555 It depends on your requirements. If you are going to use the tables & data to build apps/solutions using Power platform (power apps, etc.), you should try Microsoft Dataverse tables and relationships
