Good day, I am very new to nocodb, I have two tables, TableA and TableB. TableB has 3 columns, A,B and C. If I create a Link Between Table A and B, is it possible to select which field I see from Table B?

link between table (link to another record field) will display primary value of the other table. to see a different field from Table B, you will have to change the primary value field of Table B.

to change primary value of a table- click menu-down button associated with that column, and click on set-primary value.

You can explore LinkToAnotherRecord & LookUp fields from documentation. If that doesn’t suffice your requirements, we can discuss further.
