WPS One-Way Linked Fields on Windows FAQ

When using One-Way Linked Fields, 3 common question types come up most often: one-way vs two-way behavior, editing field settings, and checking automatic matching results.

FAQ

What is the difference between one-way linking and two-way linking?

1. One-way linking shows the linked field only in the current table.
2. Two-way linking creates a relationship in both the current table and the target table.
3. If you only need to reference data from another table in the current table, one-way linking is usually the simpler choice.

Can I modify a one-way linked field after creating it?

1. Right-click the field title.
2. Select Field Settings.
3. Update the target data table, linking method, record range, or multiple-record option in the settings panel.

What should I do if automatic matching does not return the expected result?

1. Open Field Settings and check the currently selected target data table.
2. Review whether the automatic matching conditions are complete and accurate.
3. Confirm that the target table contains records that meet the conditions, then save the settings and check the result again.
