If you want to have a button with a link, cant you use a lookup for that link?  
I ask because I see all fields but the Lookup fields.

Is the relation ‘multiple’?

What I do is: I look up a link in another sheet. I see that in the database. But when I want to add a button with a link to the looked up link, but It doesnt show. Doesnt seem to matter if the relation is single or multiple.

It works for me as long as the multiple checkbox in the relation is unchecked. I was able to assign a lookup column to a button as a link.Are you saying that your lookup columns disappeared?

Are you saying that your lookup columns disappeared from the data tab?

Yeah. I made 3 Lookup columns. I was looking for them in my component. Couldnt find them. After a longtime I looked in the data editor. All 3 Lookup columns had disappeared.

I’ve already observe that in others columns we create on Data, happens the same thing. But it’s not every time
