dynamics crm 2011 - Reference entity field name is empty in primary entity view CRM2011 -

i have created many 1 relationship b/w location , appointment entities. creating view in appointment show appointments location names when this, location columns showed empty values.

this view out of box.

here add location name field in appointment view:

any ideas why location name appearing empty in appointment view?

thanks.

you don't need special if want name.

if location primary entity selected in specific lookup field on appointment record, called "location", add field appointment in view.

you don't have explicitly fetch location record because although lookup stores guid of target record, crm interprets view mean want see primary field (name) of primary entity, not actual guid. see in lookup field on form same see in view.

if want field other name, need choose primary entity in list, not via "regarding" relationship, whatever actual custom relationship called - "location"
