I have a list with a data set next to a table. When you click the list it adds a new row to the table. The reference field to the Client doesnt display until you save the row. I fear this will be confusing to users, any way to get it to display before the record is saved? In V1 the Client reference displayed the name before the save.

Make sure you have the ID and the Name field for the reference both included in your pre-population part of the “Create new row” action? I think you will need both of them there.

 

I created a quick test page that seems to work well - passing Account ID and Name into a table of new contacts. Let me know if there is something in your scenario that makes this example irrelevant.

Thats what I was missing, Thanks Rob! Weirdly it worked elsewhere without providing the name field (same setup), but for whatever reason this particular table required it.
