Lookups are now part of Relationships. You can show information from a related category directly in your current one.

To display a value from a related category

  • Go to Edit Fields in your category.

  • Click the Create Field button and scroll → Relationships.

  • Choose the existing relationship you want to use.

  • Select the property you want to display (for example, Created By, Description, Drawing Location, or Updated At).

  • Give your new field a name, the click Create Field. The value will appear automatically for each related item.

  • Note, Lookups are now a part of Layer Formulas. You can alternately use the Formula Field to lookup values.
