Is there any way to have a drawer of sorts on a lookup field?

So I’m sure there’s a fancy code way to do a popup or hover text, but here’s a simple, declarative solution that might fit your needs:

Include the Account Shipping Address in the Invoice Model (click on the little icon next to the lookup field), and then creating a new “Account Shipping Address” section in the field editor and set it to be initially collapsed so users can just click to see the shipping address. It’ll end up looking like this:

Let us know if you would rather try a code-y way.

1. Getting into related object fields in the model field-picker

2. Selecting related fields

Once you’ve selected the related fields you want to show, you can click on the original object, in your case Invoice, probably, instead of Contact .

There are a few ways to do this.

If you are in a field editor - you could include the reference field in a template component.  Then make the “On click action” be a custom popup.  This popup can then have as much related data as you want. 

If you want to do this in a table its a little more complicated.  Templates in tables don’t open popups.  But you can use Javascript to trigger the popup.  See this forum post that lays out that idea:  https://community.skuid.com/t/trigger-popup-from-javascript

I stand corrected, since the “fancy code way” to do what you wanted to do was actually not very code-y at all. Thanks, Rob!

Clever! I’ll give that a shot. Thanks.
