Hello,  
choice component is not showing the source field, is it because I am using from inside another form?? by default it is showing the choices from the parent form’s table  
your check in the screenshot.

Difficult to tell too much from your screen shot, although I do see that you are writing to a relation column.

Is that deliberate?

Can you specify what error it was so that people can be aware when this happens next time? Thank you.

@ThinhDinh As you can see in the above screenshot, the source field is not available for choice component, only images and display as fields are available, because the source field is not available i was not able to display the values as dropdown, which i wanted
