09/29/2020, 1:51 PMI have a custom record with several custom fields, one of which is a text field for a processing code (i.e. PR354, SU188). How do I go about creating another custom list based on those processing codes? If I do a custom field of type List/Record and select the custom record, it gives me a list of the record ID's. I'd like a list of the processing codes.

09/30/2020, 12:24 PM@erictgrubaugh @battk thank you. I understand now. So I will have to use the name field for the value I want displayed in the list, even though it's not really the "name" of the record. That'll work.
