Hopefully this can be simple. I am working on development in SharePoint 2010 but I do NOT think that it is specific to 2013 or 2010, I am migrating to 2013 in a month or so (hopefully!)
Requirement:
Display lookup list for Server Name (Title) and Server Description (Description)
Problem:
I have a custom list with 2 columns, title and description, both text fields. I am using that list as a lookup to my other custom list.
The graphic below has 2 windows squished into it. The middle window is the list pulling the data from, the lookup list.
The graphic to the right is the issue that I am running into. I create the column and hopefully I can use the lookup column with the title column AND THEN the additional fields for the Description! It DOES appear, but AFTER I fill out the form. The form is on the left part of the graphic below.
I see the server names or "Title" but I can't even "hover" over it and see the description! I don't know how to present the description lookup in the form when I do "new item." Is this something that 2010 / 2013 can do and OOTB or do I need designer? I don't code so I can't use VS.
Thank you!
Matt
