cross referencing using named field

    I realise probably isn’t currently a feature but it would be great if the cross referencing could use something like a ‘name’ or ‘title’ field for the dropdowns. At the moment choosing the Id works but isn’t hugely intuitive for ‘clients’ as they first need to find the ID. Any ideas whether this is likley to be a feature?

    This is already a feature! ?? Cross-references will use the first unique column (after the primary key) as the text to display to users.

    If this isn’t working, perhaps the unique key on the cross-referenced table comprises more than one column?

    Basically, there should be a primary key (i.e. ID) and a separate unique key (i.e. Title).
