Question

What field type would you select if you want to query records from another table on a form?

Options

AUse the Reference field type.
BUse the Phone Number field type.
CUse the String field type.
DUse the Date field type.

Explanation

The 'Reference' field type creates a relationship between two tables, allowing users to search and select a record from another table directly on a form. It stores the sys_id of the referenced record and displays a human-readable value (typically the display value of the target record). This enables dot-walking to access fields on the related record. Phone Number, String, and Date field types are simple data-storage fields with no cross-table lookup capability.
