Linked lookup field not showing check mark or free text values

[Abigail0102]

Hello!

I have a table (table A) that has two fields I want to display in another table (table B). 

One of the columns in table A is a check box value, the other is free text. I have linked table A inside table B and created two look up columns in table B to display the check box column and the free text ones but they turn up blank. 

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Sorry I am not sure what you are meaning. The screenshot you shared is from the view that I am trying to pull information from. "Operations report" houses the info, I want to show it in a lookup in "Overview for reports Rebekka". The screenshot you are showing is from operations report?

I don't understand your wording with "current record value"?

Ah, that isn't the "Operations Report" view, that's just a troubleshooting view I created myself; views also don't affect how linked / lookup fields work!

I'd suggest checking out the following articles to get a better understanding of how linked and lookup fields work:

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you're trying to do, and best of luck with it!
