If this custom view does not exist, the app uses the lookup view for the entity (if any), or simply the default view. | |||
Remember that one questionnaire can be used in different [[app projects]], and each project can have different views. As a result, the same questionnaire template can look differently depending on the app project of the inspector. Set up a view directly in the questionnaire to prevent this from happening. | |||

[[File: | In the app, users can select the lookup answer from the drop-down list or tap the ellipsis (...) button to open a new lookup dialog (which supports better sorting and filtering). If you enable '''Allow Create New''' in the question properties, users can create a new record from the questionnaire. "Automatic" means users can make the record directly from the drop-down list. "Manual" means that users have to use the lookup dialog. | ||
