We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
I have a table 'jurisdiction' with columns 'code' (string) and 'name' (string).
I have a second table 'detail' which has a column 'test' that is specified as a multi-value selectbox whose data source as 'Use values from another wpDataTable'. I've specified the 'Configure relation' to be:
Source wpDataTable: jurisdiction
Display value: name
Store value: code
So I expect that this allows me to have a multi-value selectbox available when editing column 'test' in table 'detail' and store the value(s) that is one or more 'code' value selected from the dropdown into field 'test'?
Problem 1
It appears that even if my 'code' entries are unique I must choose 'wdt_id' as the store value? If this is a limitation of the system then I understand (but it is not very flexible).
Problem 2
More worryingly when I drop and create the column 'test' and specify its type as 'multi-line selectbox' I see that the Editor Input Type is identified correctly as 'Multi-value selectbox'
I then try to set up the values for the column as a foreign key by clicking on 'Configure Relation' and at this point the 'Use values from another wpDataTable' dialog appear with a spinning circle and never stops - which I believe to be a bug.
This does not happen if I specify a list of values rather than a table (but this is not what I want)
I have now spent nearly two days trying to figure Problem 2 out and would really appreciate some help or a refund.
Many thanks

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your purchase.
There is a explanation in our documentation how to use Foreign key on this link.
You will find that the only limitation is that the only possible editor input type for such columns is the single-value selectbox, as the options are limited with what the remote table contains.
When you configure relations like is describe in our documentation you should not have any problems. There is some issue with that modal if you are using Firefox. Can you do that in Chrome and see do you still have issue with this modal?
Kind Regards,
Isidora Markovic
