Custom Lookup UI Table

Hello everyone, Is there a way to have a custom selection UI like Pop up/Navigate to table instead on regular one field drop down selection. I want to have a view of the some context of the rows before selecting it. I tried to have a concatenation of a fields and set as Label but it doesn’t look nice.

From an AppSheet Form view - no, there is no other way to look at table row data from another table. There are a couple of things you might be able to do:

You said the concatenating fields into a label wasn’t sufficient. AppSheet does support Rich Text Formatting for LongText fields. You might be able to define the Label column as LongText and apply Rich Text for the label so it looks better in the dropdown

Rich Text Formatting

Alternatively, you could start with a view of that OTHER table such that when a row is tapped, or an inline button in the row is tapped, it opens the Form view with THAT row’s data pre-populated into the Form view.

I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for the input… Just as reference for others, I tried to do a custom UI (Webapp) on appscript. The logic is the user will navigate to the appscript web app passing the dynamic url done on appsheet.. that dynamic url contains parameter I need to show table or selection properly :heart_eyes:
