Is it possible to create a lookup of same entity and display it in the form? Example, in Account record/form, you want to have a lookup of Account.  

If yes, how to do it? What relationship would Account have to itself?

    Well, technically you can do it, but I'm really curious WHY you would want to?  OOTB the Account table/entity has a parent/child relationship already, so why add another?

    Hi Katie,

    Of course. You can create a lookup field of same entity and display it in the form.

    Here are steps:

    1.Go Settings > Customizations > Customize the system > Entities > Account > 1:N relationships.

    Leah,

    Please stop reiterating the same answers I provide.  It's getting annoying as it is very insulting.

    Thank you.
