Why I cannot find the lookup fields of a Sub List control on my Print page?

To display lookup fields of sub lists on print pages, add a text field in the sub list to save and show the lookup value on print.

For any approval form you created in Yeeflow, if there are Sub List controls on your form, you can also add those Sub List content on your Print Page by selecting the Sub List related variable on your Print page designer.

However, Yeeflow does not support lookup fields of sub lists on print pages. To show the values of lookup fields, you need to add another field in their sub-list with type as text and use it to save the value of the selected item of the lookup field. This new field can then be used on the print page to display the lookup field value.


What exactly is the problem?

So, if you have lookup fields on your Sub List, for example, a Product lookup field to select product from the Products data list:

When you add this Sub list on your Print page, by selecting the associated variable, which is Details List for this example:

You will found that the Lookup fields (the Product field for this example) are missing:

The reason here is Yeeflow currently does not support the lookup fields of sub lists on print page.


How to resolve it?

In order to show the values of lookup fields, you need to add another field in your sub-list (let’s see Product Name) with type as text. This field will be used to save the value of the selected item of lookup field:

Then from your Lookup field (PRODUCT), click the settings button after the control properties:

In the pop-up window, from the Appearance group, find the “additional fields” settings, and click the “Settings” button,

From the additional fields window, find the field with the product name of your product data list, then, from the associated fields dropdown list. find and select the “Product Name” field.

With this settings, when you select a product from the lookup field, the product name will be save to this Product Name field.

Now, when you go back to your print page, You will be able to find the new Product Name field of this sub list:

You can then use this field value when printing.
