    Hi Gokulnath,

    I don't understand how and where exactly you need help. Maybe the documentation about Computed columns and virtual fields in data entities will be helpful for you. Otherwise, please explain where you got stuck or need help.

    Hi Gokulnath,

    Thanks for the clarification. The page from Microsoft Learn I shared above is having the information how to add such referenced field.
