I'm trying to fix a field that should show 'outstanding requests'. This displays information from a linked record field which has the setting 'limit selection to a view'.

This view filters out completed/archived requests, leaving only those that are current.

However, both in the in the field and in the interface that draws from the field, all the completed/archived requests still show (as well as the outstanding ones).

Other linked record fields that draw from a filtered view work fine (e.g. 'current development'). I can't figure out what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

I believe the "Limit record selection to view" functionality only applies to when you're selecting records to add to the linked field and has no effect on records that are already linked

If you'd like to only display data from linked records that meet a certain condition you can check out conditional lookups and rollups?
