Hi
I have the parent database “Photo Database” with the child “Photo Prints”. The child database is used to keep track of all prints created and sold. In there, I would like to include some basic information from the parent database such as image title.
In the parent database I set the one-to-many link and enabled show inverse relationship. Then in the child database I created a field with the type ‘script’ containing
var image_title = photo_database.getFieldValue('fld-a64a1b71aeb8408499143d9c852b0056');
image_title;
But when I run it, following error:
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: photo_database, column:33, line:1
I guess I’m missing something to define photo_database which is the parent “Photo Database”. Attached is the sample template. Thank you for your help!

Hi Daniel,
Yes, Tap Forms needs to know what photo_database is.
What you need to do is double-click on Photo Database on the fields list on the left. That’ll put in the definition for that.
So you’ll end up with:
var photo_database = record.getFieldValue('fld-70bf5e5c35da46ab863690f617313d17');
var image_title = photo_database.getFieldValue('fld-a64a1b71aeb8408499143d9c852b0056');
I realize it’s not obvious that the parent field name is double-clickable.
Hi Brandon,
Cool! Didn’t think of that at all.
When I run it in the ‘edit script’ view, the result is shown in the Results field. I would expect to see this in the Title field in the Layout View too, but that remains empty.
Sorry for all the beginners questions!
Thanks!

It helps to define the result type as text! Working now :)
