Reference field grayed out on dropdown

I’ve spent hours trying to figure out what I am doing wrong when attempting to connect a dropdown box to a reference field in my dataset. I’ve attached a picture with my latest settings. The reference field that I want to connect the dropdown to is grayed out so I cannot select it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

What happens when you change your dataset more to read & write, does the problem still persist?

It does, I tried all sorts of combinations regarding access/permissions from the dataset, page, and the tables. Seems like I can only include the reference on a grid/list and not a dropdown which seems odd. Maybe I’m doing something else wrong.

The business service table is referenced in the user preference table, I wanted users to be able to crud their own preferences based on location and business type. I also wanted businesses to be able to crud their profile to include a business type hence why the business service is its own table where other tables can reference it. Maybe I have to script this?

Connecting Dropdown Elements to Reference Fields not working plz fix

im also encountering this issue.

@sesullivan - I think you’re right, you moght have to code the data submission. It will probably be easier to do than to try and figure out why this reference isn’t working the way it should…

I’m also encountering this issue. Update me if you guys resolved this since I can’t find a solution yet.

Any more info on this? I’m having same difficulties.
