Why does when viewing a record show more info than a sync view has

NPO TEAM ACCOUNT (just to let folks know)

So I love having master sync tables and create views off them for different usages in a base.

For example: I have a common base for State and Country, absolutely love this, and use it across a lot of our bases for different purposes.

In our CRM we use it for Contact, Company, Communities, Speaker/Facilitator Bureau, Charity Compliance, and Grants tables.  There are some privacy requirements, and access controls that we have in place.

I have set a VIEW -  States, just for lookup that does not show ANY other fields except the STATES field.

So why if the view doesn’t show any of the other fields (where it is being used in the other tables) why does the individual record show.

 

And then when I open it up - I see all the other areas I really don’t want some of my team messing with.

Have I missed how to not show the other tables?

Yes, I know I could make an interface but some of us like to work in a different manner, and bulky block interfaces are not our thing.

Hey ​@RonniEloff_VKDe,

 

I should get back to this once I am home with the pc. Just in case check the first grid View that such table has. Try hiding all fields there and check whether they are now hidden. Usual y, fields picked up correspond to the first grid view of the linked table.

You Know that’s wild.  Because I don’t start a lookup until I get the View I want.  That’s wild that it still goes back to another view that it isn’t connected to.  But thank you - that worked and removed the other options so now I don’t have to worry about our Sales team messing with the Speakers team :)
