Hello,

I need to add the vendor name to my purchase order line entity.

So I extended the entity and added the vendor table.

I am trying to add the DirPartyTable to get the vendor name, but when I go to do the relationship, the vendtable fields are empty.

I will add pictures

I am not sure why is not letting me add the field to join,

From what understand I need to do: vendtable.party = dirpartytable.recid

thanks

As I needed a field from the table and not the view, this is my final result.

After giving Join relation name you no need to select related field and field from the lookup. It will fetch the relation automatically from vend table.

I have the same issue, I add the view, but the field view is empty, and when I try to add it manually it doesnt let me.

After adding DirPartyView as datasource you need to give "Join relation name" property.

Can you please elaborate what you mean by "it doesnt let me"? I did it successfully.

RE: Missing fields when I try to add a relationship on a data source

I tried DirPartyView and still the field is empty. I also check the vendor entity and I see it uses DirPartyBaseEntity but it is not letting me choose the field. what is the difference between data source and derived data source?
