Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to display the email based on the value that I will select from the Choice component.
Here’s the [recording](https://share.getcloudapp.com/L1uN0NqB)
Thank you!

Looks like you’re doing it in an add environment, the info chosen in that screen is temporary, so you can’t do a relation & lookup right on that screen. You can only do so once the info has been written as a new row.

Thank you.
What’s the best approach for this?
The contact table has the contact email I will when I save it to the Activity table.

Oh, finally cracked it! I think I’m still figuring things out because I just started using this last week.
So when when I used the form, then loaded the list of contacts inside the Choice component. The value I selected is the field contact email but I displayed the full name field and the target column for this in my Activity table is contact email. Then it worked! I don’t need to display the email in the add/edit mode.
Thanks!
