display foreign name from link

[gpatri]

I created a link between Account and a new entities. But in my details form I see AccountId, a try a formula to have account.name, but 'none'.

How to display account.name inside the remote entity?

Hello

If you created one-to-many (or many-to-one, depends on direction) relationship and add "account" field to the detail layout of you new entity in Layout Manager, It has to work without formula.
Foreign fields works as well without formula

The link are 'hasOne' 'belongTo', and the ID are display.

You have a working example. You don't need to define accountName
Attach your entityDefs

From Bcc.json :

{
[B]"fields"[/B]: {
[B]  "account"[/B]: {
[B]    "type"[/B]: [B]"link"[/B],
[B]    "view"[/B]: [B]"views/fields/link"[/B]
  },
 },

[B]"links"[/B]: {
[B]  "account"[/B]: {
[B]  "type"[/B]: [B]"belongTo"[/B],
[B]  "entity"[/B]: [B]"Account"[/B]
},

}

From Account.json:

{

"links": {
    "bcc": {
        "type": "hasOne",
        "foreign": "account",
        "entity": "Bcc",
        "audited": false,
        "isCustom": true
    }
}}
