I am having a trouble with lookup column from one list to other list, the columns are not showing in selection.

I have list called Business Case and list Status report, I would like to add some of the columns from Business case to SP using lookup and select the columns I would like to display the data.

enter image description here

Unfortunately I cant see all created columns in the lists, as showing in the picture.

Can someone advice me, why the created columns are not visible on lookup fields?

This is a known behavior in SharePoint.

SharePoint lookup columns only support below column types:

  • Single line of text
  • Number
  • Date and Time

  • So am I to understand that lookup columns are not like relationships after all? For example, if I have an Assets table and want to look up a User ID--a number in the assets table and "key" in the users table) and then get the users name (different column) then I... can't? Because the name isn't a number? Name isn't populating off this lookup.
