How to use username/id in lookup?

Hi
I see, I can automatically add the username to some field.
How can I use the username / ID / GroupID ... some other internal AppGini placeholder in my custom SQL code (e.g. for an advanced lookup)?

Create a view "view_members" using your SQL tool. Add a table "view_members" to appGini with identical columnnames and data types. Use the table as lookup source. Generate your app.

Hi jsetzer,
I tried your suggestion in a similar context (
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3034 ). It did not work

Hi,
not sure if this is what you are looking for, but if yes, this is not yet supported. See
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2880&p=9627&hilit=lookup#p9627

Works, but AG complains as PK can not be FK at the same time (according to AG) and FK can not be UNIQUE (according to AG). I did like AG wanted and changed the table indexes in phpmyadmin accordingly. AG could also warn the user if that what he tries to do actually makes sense, and then follow instructions ...
