Lookup type field to virtual entity not showing in dual-write field mapping

Posted on by 1,798

Hi,


It seems Dual-Write field mapping does not support lookups to virtual entities in Data Verse.


I have added a virtual entity from F&O to Data Verse. Then I created a lookup type field in one of the native tables in CE to point to the virtual entity.

The new field was not available in Dual-write field mapping. 

All other lookups to native entities and other type fields appear but this.

Have anyone tried to add such a field and was it visible in Dual-write mapping?

Thanks ;)

    As I mentioned, I have created a lookup type field in the native entity in CE which points to Virtual entity comming from F&O.

    The field is visible in CE and all works well.

    When I look in the DW mappings I cannot see this lookup type field in the mappings.

    If I create a lookup on a native entity to native entity. In this case all is good. I see the field in the DW mappings.

    Not sure what you mean seeing it in both end. Both end of what CE and F&O?

    No, the lookup was created only in CE. I did not create it in F&O. I did not need it like that.

    If you are confirming that you don't see the lookup which points to a virtual entity too, thanks.

    I have created this lookup field in order to have a valid values which I did not want to have as native entities in CE. Thus I have created a virtual entity and used that in a lookup.
