Is there a way to get the related field of a M:N relationship to display on the parent record?

Hi, I am still in the learning phases of Dynamics 365.

I have a many to many relationship between a reports form and classrooms. I know with M:N relationships, you cannot pull that information forward onto the parent record view. 

Is there a way to get the related field of a M:N relationship to display on the parent record? I have tried the multi select lookup option, but does not do what I need it to do.

Any guidance is much appreciated. 

Thank you!

    Hi ams9, 

    I have tried the multi select lookup option, but does not do what I need it to do.

    What do you need? 

    In the form, you can show related records in the sub-grid.

    If you want to show parent and child records in the same view, maybe you need achieve it through creating Reports.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/user/create-report-with-wizard 

    For example, Account and custom are many to many relationship.

    Hi,

    You can use below PCF Control to show data in dropdown format for N:N relationship:

    https://pcf.gallery/n-to-n-multiselect/

    Also, when we create the N:N relationship then in CRM we can add Subgrid on both entities. For e.g. A and B have N:N relationship then on A we can add subgrid of B and on B we can add Subgrid of A.
