Using "Connected Lookup Field" column
Hi, While using SharePoint 2016, I want to fill a column inside a list with information depending on an other list. I tried to use "Connected Lookup Field" column, but the result column is bl...
I do not use "Lookup column" because I do not manage to use it. When I create a "Lookup" column, I select the reference list I want and then the column which is the same as the one in my second list; I also try to add others fields to see if it can be filled.
But finally, the columns are empty.
This is how a standard lookup column works for me:
- Create source list and add values that should appear in the dropdown
- In master list, create column > type = Lookup > select source list > select field for values
- Add/Edit items and select values from dropdown
I can't tell why you have no values in your screenshot. Do you have values in your source list? Have you edited the existing list items to select the value in the dropdown?
