Hi All ,

I am facing some console errors .Like relation "xyz " cannot be used in find . Although I have not used any relation inside the find code . Some fields were displayed using this relation . So I have created a calculation for it . So now it is working fine . but there is some field which is using related value list . The value list is using this relation . So in this case we cannot avoid this relation . How can I get rid of this console error ? . Please provide some suggestion on this. My servoy version is servoy 6.0.6.

Thanks,  
aksrot

Relations across servers can’t be used in finds. Just like it’s hard to write sql statements against tables in two different databases.
