Lookup Filter syntax

Hi master,

In lookup filter, I use Lookup table in child and put filter want to get value from a field from master table.
"Child_Value = 'Master_Value' "

What is the correct syntax?

I m asking about this because I've used filter features and it works fine (lookup selections appear fine) BUT when I select, it returns different value / record, no error message. I'm so confuse, I think it's kind of PHPMaker bug? (V2017) Thanks

If you mean you want to have the filter which is filter by the field in Master/Table, you can setup the Parent/Filter #1 in the detail table field.

And set up the Parent/Filter #1 as below.

Parent table: The master table.
Parent field: The parent field in the master table.
Filter field: The parent field in the master table.

If you need more information, post your table schema of the lookup table and the master, detail table to here.

Yes I did this, I lookup table 'Sales_Detail_Item', then the list appears. There are many same code sell items, and then I filter by a Sales_Number. I've chosen one and then the result is : It take the same sell item code with different Sales_Number (it always take item from the first sales_number code).. same code item is not problem, but the detail (qty, detail) is different. Seems filtering is not working well here.
Thanks
