Hi,

I am trying to create a look up table with a list - such as departments so that when users are filling data into my Staff table, they can select a department from another table.&nbsp; This way, I can maintain my departments in one place and all apps will always get the list of departments from there.

Is there a way to do this in Knack?

Thanks
