We have a construct like entity1 - 1:n - entity2 - 1:n - entity3, and want to display data from entity1 in entity3 (form or list).
Is there a way to accomplish that without copying the data to entity3?
If not, which options do I have?

I know this question had been posted for a while, but I just encountered the same issue. I finally solve this problem by using FetchXML. See below link for details.

Yes, thank you, that's it. I do not like to create a relation between entity1 and entity3 though, but that's a fault of Dynamics CRM, I guess.
I think you might need to establish a 1:n linking entity1 to entity3 (which could be copied via mapped fields or workflow from entity 2 when you create entity 3) then you can surface entity1 fields via views (parent records) or quick view forms on the form.
That way you don't have to copy data (except the lookup field). Note that the data from entity1 will be read-only on entity 3.
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Nick
You can add lookup field of entity1 to entity3 and display data of entity1 in quick view form on entity3
