show field from foreign entity

[hi-ko]

We are using EspoCRM 4.0.3, created custom fields on Account and now want to display these custom fields on linked entities like IncomingInvoice.

Relationship "Many-to-One" from incomingInvoices to Accounts (Account has incomingInvoices)

I found an older disscussion using

"type": "foreign"

http://forum.espocrm.com/forum/devel...y-s-properties

So I defined a new field in incomingInvoices:
After a rebuild I get a HTTP 500 on the incomingInvoices list view even if I don't add fields to the list view:

        "accountInfo" : {
            "type" : "foreign",
            "link" : "account",
            "foreign" : "description"
        }

after rebuild I get an empty json from /api/v1/IncomingInvoice

in data/cache/application/ormMetadata.php the required relation is there

      'accountInfo' =>
      array (
        'type' => 'foreign',
        'relation' => 'account'

Questions:

How can I add a foreign field to a view?
How can I enforce error logging since in the espo log no entries are shown when calling the url?

Thanks a lot in advance vor any hint.

OK. Got it working (I switched "notCreatable" : false in application/Espo/Resources/metadata/fields/foreign.json to allow creation from UI):
in Resources/metadata/entityDefs/ I had to add "skip": false

        "accountTest": {
            "skip": false,
            "type": "foreign",
            "link": "account",
            "field": "description",
            "isCustom": true
        }
