Data Lookup in (published) reusable solution

Hi,

We're building an application with 2 types of sites: a "portal site" which contains a Customers list and a customer site for every customer that is created in the Customers list. We have a skybow solution for the Portal site and one for a Customer site (that will automatically be applied).

In the Portal site there's a list "PortalList". In the Customer sites there's a list "CustList". We want to add a Data Lookup on the form of the CustList, pointing to the PortalList. I suspect this won't work when we'll publish our solutions to another tenant (the URL of the portal site and therefore also the PortalList's URL is different on their tenant). Is there some kind of solution or workaround for this situation, or will this work like cross-site lookups?

Thanks,
Sven

  Hi svenderuyter

  You can use the CallbackUrl of the skybow API deployment call to trigger other API's after succeeded deployment. This could be an Azure Function or Power Automate Flow in your case which sets the Data Lookup value in the new created deployment/site.

  Data Lookup is a field type provided by skybow which can be set as text value in the following format by your custom code:
  Single-Lookup value: "id;#title"
  Multi-Lookup value: "id1;#title1;#id2;#title2"
