Project Name, Foreign Number

Project Name is a lookup column, 

My source list has multiple columns and it has above both columns also.

I want the project name from the source  in my target list according to foreign number in my target list.

    taimoorahmed If you want to update values in project name for all items, you can create a power automate flow which will read all items from both lists and match them based on common column to update the list items in child (second) list where lookup column is added.

  • taimoorahmed Can you explain your requirements in detail?

     

    From lookup settings, you can show additional fields if you want to show Foreign Number based on selection of Project Name like: 

    If you are trying to restrict lookup column values shown in the SharePoint list form based on conditions, you need to customize the list form using power apps and change the "items" property of lookup dropdown/combobox control as per your conditions.

      hello ganeshsanap,
      so project name and foreign number columns are present in both SP lists.
      foreign number has the exact entries in both SP lists. Now in my target list I want the project name to show the records according to the foreign number entries, is there any way to do it? and without power apps.
