Ref columns do not link to respective table in detail view

I have a couple of referenced columns in a table. Before, when in a detailed view on one table, We could click on a reference column in that detail view and it would jump to the respective table detail view. Now these fields are not links that can be clicked for some reason. We've made a lot of changes in our app recently, and I'm not able to find anything that's impacting this. Suggestions on how we can ensure that our reference columns will link to related?

I think what you are referring to is the button as shown in the image below.

Verify that the column is indeed defined as a Ref column.  It will not work if the column is defined as an Enum or EnumList with a BASE TYPE of Ref.

If you have just made changes to make it appear, e.g. just redefined the column as Ref, and the button is not appearing,  try tapping the browser refresh button to refresh the Editor web page.  I have found this app View Ref button will not show up unless this is done after certain changes.

Lastly, make sure the action exists and that all of its settings are there to allow it to be seen.  See second image below.

I hope this helps!

@WillowMobileSys thank you for always responding so quick!!  I am embarrassed to admit that I hid those actions not realizing what they were - but very much appreciate your help in figuring that out!  Thank you!
