Steps to reproduce

Hi there

Not sure if it's a bug or a feature request. I have the tables

• Server
• IP
• Network

Server links to IP and IP to Network. So the tables actually look like this:

• Server | Name, IP (linked record)
• IP | IP, Network (linked record), Server (linked record)
• Network | Name, IP (linked record)

We can have multiple networks with the same subnet, hence the IP Address isn't unique, only the combination of IP and Network is. On Server when I link an IP the modal to choose which IP to link does not show necessary information to identify the IP.

Desired Behavior

I'd like to see the record details on the linked item modal even if these details are originating from another linked record.

Hey @pranavxc / @dstala Do you have any news / eta on this? I'm asking as we like to take some new database into production and depending on this feature the database design needs to be changed.

I have the same issue when I link to a linked image attachment, it's not showing in the modal.

Functionality is feasible. But operation to fetch additional details is expensive. Engineering team is debating it out if its really worth the expense of operations involved.

Thanks for the update @dstala. For us it would greatly improve the daily use of nocodb because of the reason describe initially in this issue. It counts not only for these tables but others as well.

This is nice to have and not an issue.
