Setting the Properties of the Associated Record Widget
This widget links forms in an application and shows them in single or multi-answer mode.
When you export or clone an application, the form links break. You need to set them up again afterward.

Name
Set the field name shown to users. Click to set Chinese and English names. Click Reference Field to copy another field's value to this field name.


Associated Object
Choose a view page. After setting it up, the view permission is assigned to all enterprise member roles. You can set the viewing scope and rules as required.
Set the view page to the form view of the current application or a form view of another application. After the setting, the enterprise member role is granted the view visibility and data operation permissions by default, as shown in Figure 4. Widgets linked to other applications cannot be cloned. After cloning, set up the links again.
After setting the associated object, click the add button to filter the records that meet the filter criteria as candidate values.

Available Records
Set the number of records to select from the associated object as either Single or Multiple.
Display
Set the display mode of the option values for the associated record widget as either Drop-down list or Option list.
