Hi All:

I need to pull the field "notes" from a child record that was created most recently, and display it in the table with the parent records. How can I do this?

But wouldn't that just grab ALL the records and display the notes in a comma delimited manner? I've been struggling with how to obtain a specific child record to show as well -- I think we have more of a all or none at the moment.

If the two are connected you can choose the field from the drop down and put it in the table.
