Link between tables

For example:
- Add a new simple table named "Projects"
- In the Id column indicate a project symbol and in the Description column a small explanation.
- In another simple table, add the following text columns:
- ProjectsId (Table name plus "Id")
When you go into edit mode a list of the available projects will be displayed. - ProjectsDescription (Table name plus "Description")
This column must be protected.
When you change the ProjectsId contents, the description text will be displayed.
- ProjectsId (Table name plus "Id")
- When you add a column, proceed with a check of the accounting or close and reopen the file to activate the link.
