I am building a model-driven power app and I regularly have a situation where:
- "Child" table has an N->1 relationship to "Parent" table
- "Parent" table has an N->1 relationship to "Grandparent" table
- When I'm looking at a view of records in the Child table I really need to be able to show the "grandparent" name.
Power Apps seems to allow me to show column values from directly related tables, but not indirectly related tables. Is there any solution / workaround to this?
If not, is this a feature that could be added?
Solved! Go to Solution.
This is not possible unfortunately.
I have achieve something like this in the past, but it took a fair bit of work, and it relied on having the same set of fields in all three records (grandparent, parent, child) and a mechanism to update the fields when a change is made
Option 1 - Field Mapping - this option only works if you are creating parent/child from a subgrid
Option 2: Javascript - only works if records are created only from the UI (i.e. not by some other means, like a Flow)
Option 3 - Flow
Happy to discuss either of the above options in more detail if these seem suitable

Thanks -- I feared that this might be the case.
Could you help regarding the third solution, !!
Is there a tutorial or video explaining this way !!
