Limitations of (Asset Library) Lookup List Columns in Document Content Types

$

Hi

I have been testing out some requirements of a client.  They want to be able to select from a list ( Asset Library ) is the following scenarios:

  • The Library level as in Select Item -> edit properties
  • Inside a newly created Document based on Custom Document content type, that contains a lookup column pointing at the Asset Library.

I am seeing a couple of weird things on two multi select columns when I create a new document in Word

Issue 1

The lookup column lists the document titles of the current Library and not the lookup Asset Library 1 . At the list Item level I can have no  problems at all selecting the titles of the correct Lookup Asset Library 1.

Issue 2

Created a new Lookup Asset Library 2 and thought I had cracked the issue - I didn't both with an content types in my lookup library. Then I tried to select an item. Oh lovely I get a nil value for my fictions example 

This is when I try to create a new document in the my library......

I will keep testing to see if this issue occurs with other Lookup Lists such as Tasks or Documents but it is a bit strange; even for SharePoint

Anyone seen this?
