Solved: In the user table I had selected row owner within my email coloumn and that was the issue. Thank you again [Darren\_Murphy](https://community.glideapps.com/u/darren_murphy)

I’m running into an issue where lookup values from my Users table are not displaying consistently in my Orders collection, and I’m at a loss.

Setup:

- Orders table stores `CustomerID`
- Relation: `Orders.CustomerID → Users.UserID`
- Lookups in Orders:
- CustomerAddress
- CustomerUnit
- CustomerCity
- State
- CustomerZIPCode
- CustomerName
- Template in ‘Orders’ builds an **Address Line** from those lookups

Problem:

- First order displays correctly
- Customer Name shows
- Address Line shows
- All lookup values render

But for subsequent orders:

- Customer Name does not show
- Address Line does not show
- Template still runs (commas appear), but lookup values are blank
- Data **does exist** in the Orders table

This is happening on my **Plant Dashboard collection** sourced from Orders.

Important notes:

- Relation is correct and populated
- Lookup columns show values in the data editor
- Template is built in **Orders** , not Users
- If I pull from Users directly, it shows the signed-in user instead (so Orders context is correct)
- This same architecture has worked in previous builds

I’ve also seen odd computed column behavior in this app:

- Bag fee not updating initially
- Rush fee amount not showing for a bit  
Both eventually fixed after restructuring calculations

So I’m wondering if this is:

- lookup rendering issue
- template evaluation issue
- collection row context issue
- computed column dependency issue

Any ideas why lookup values would **exist in the Orders table but not render consistently in the collection?**

It’s because you have Row Owners applied in your Users table.
