Notes
• The target field specified for the Relookup Field Contents step must be an editable
field.
• Relookups are only performed on the found set of records in the active table.
• Calculation fields cannot be used for the Relookup Field Contents command. If you
use the Relookup Field Contents command, and you're using a calculation field as
the matching value, you must specify one of the input fields for the calculation as the
field parameter for the Relookup Field Contents.
