FileMaker Pro: <no values defined> -

so im working on hardware inventory , have problem relationships.

in "item_view" layout select type , brand corresponds unique type ( i.e. if select type "smartphone" should show me brands smartphones ). attribute "type" defined in own table ( seen in image below ), such brand ( model , designation there too, i've tried type-brand thing first - "testing db" ).

my problem if seek access "type" table in "item_view" layout, can select type not related brand ( ). made "pop-up menu" in "item_brand" field , gave him values "brand::brand" "include related values starting from: type" ( "typ", thats high german type - ignore ).

i think should work, i't doesn't. need help. thx.

if connect item_view table occurrence typ table occurrence via relationship:

item_view::item_typ = typ::typ_id

which this:

you should able create value list using brand table shows related records starting @ typ:

this way, when select particular type, typ record can used downwards relationship

typ -> connect -> brand

to see of related brands. can attach value list popup menu or dropdown list item_brand field on item_view layout allow pick related brand.

it should noted you're showing text brand values, you're storing in item_view table id of brand selected. field names in item_view table should type_id , brand_id, because that's you'd storing in fields.

you create similar value list type utilize type_id , type_name when you're using popup menu see typ::type value you're storing in item_view table typ::typ_id value.

i hope helps!
