In the data modeler browser, I am aware there is a way to choose a foreign key in an entity, in a foreign key properties menu (under "associated columns").
However I'm having trouble finding this menu.
Any help will be appreciated.
Toggle on the relationship button in the toolbar.
Click on the parent entity, then click on the child entity. The line will be drawn AND you'll get a properties dialog for the relationship.
Or if the line is already there, simply double-click the line.

We are using Dynamics CRM 2016. I am using the Account entity to track both customers and competitors. I created a new 1:N relationship between Opportunity and Account and named it Account_Competitors. I put a sub grid on my opportunity form titled "Competitors" and configured it to show related Account_Competitors. When I click the "+" button I get a quick create form. I want the "Add Existing" behavior. How do I fix this?
If the lookup to Opportunity on Account is business required, you will experience what you see now (which does not sound optimal).
If you change the lookup to be optional instead, the initial behavior when pressing the "+" button in a subgrid will be to initiate the "Add Existing" behavior.
With that said, it sounds a bit strange to have a 1:N-relationship for this. In this way a Competitor-Account can only be associated with a single Opportunity. I would suggest looking into using the standard Competitor entity, or using an N:N relationship instead.
To control the behavior of the new record button on subgrids, look at the child entity being selected in the subgrid..If the lookup field for the parent is required, the user will get a “new record” form when clicking the + button. If the lookup field for the parent entity is not required on the child entity, the user will get the lookup field to “add existing.”

I currently have a master detail form within my APEX application which should show two columns, one of which should be the primary key.
However, it appears that my primary key column has been replaced with the "edit" button/column, which I also want to keep. When I try and edit the attributes for the primary key column, changing the "display as" option appears to have no effect, and the edit button remains.
Currently my form looks like this:
And the column attributes look like this:
And ideally, I would like an additional column to this, but with the primary key values after the edit button.
I imagine there's something very simple which I'm missing!
The edit link properties come from attributes within the column. If you click on the pencil in your second image, that will show column attributes. Look for "Action" attributes that describe the link to another page. The "Link Text" will be referencing the edit icon. You could replace this with #COPYID# to show the primary key value as a link. Or you could add another column "copyid as copyid_dsp" to show both.
Can anyone, please, help me with Libreoffice Base form creation?
I have the following tables:
And I'm trying to add a form to enter new RESOURCES record with the following fields: [RESOURCE_NAME], [CURRENCY_NAME] and [AMOUNT]. But after 10+ tries I have not succeeded. I have tried adding it via wizard, selecting RESOURCES as main form and CURRENCIES as subform and vice versa. I have tried VIEWS and forms based on them. These tries only gave to me or no possibility to enter new record, either creation of the new CURRENCY.
I don't need to create new currency via this form, I only want to enter new Resource (only enter once, not to modify, not to delete). Since I don't want to remember all the ID's I want to select currency name via DropDown list.
Can anyone provide instructions about how to do it, please?
Thanks.
You do not need a subform for this - just create your form document with RESOURCES as the main form (only form).
You will need a listbox to enter the currency item. A listbox has two fields, a display field and a field that is saved in the table. You will set it up to display CURRENCY_NAME and store CURRENCY_ID.
When you create a listbox, the wizard that pops up may get you what you want. If the wizard falls short:
Make sure the form document is open in design mode: on the "Form Controls" toolbar, the leftmost/topmost icon of a pencil with a triangle should be depressed. If this icon is grayed out, close your document, right-click on its name and choose "Edit".
Right-click on the listbox and choose "Control"; this will open the properties window
On the tab "Data" change the "Type of list contents" to "Sql"
In the field "List content" enter SELECT "CURRENCY_NAME", "CURRENCY_ID" FROM "CURRENCIES" ORDER BY "CURRENCY_NAME"
The Bound Field should default to 1. If it isn't 1, change it to 1.
Close the properties window and save your form. It should work as you want now.
If you want a listbox inside a tablegrid: after you create the table, with the form in edit mode, right-click on the column name you want to change and choose "Replace with" and then "listbox".
Edited to include comment by OP about bound field needing to be 1
For example, I have two tables UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT and PHYSICAL_QUANTITY. PHYSICAL_QUANTITY has a field what represents foreign key of UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT table. When i add this relationship, PHYSICAL_QUANTITY_UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT_FK at PHYSICAL_QUANTITY table is shown. How can i hide this element (not relationship) from table?
There is way to hide primary key elements from table. Just Right-click at table -> select "Show / Hide elements" -> select elements that must be hidden and click "OK".
But PHYSICAL_QUANTITY_UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT_FK element is not shown there.
Why? And is there a way to hide PHYSICAL_QUANTITY_UNIT_OF_MEASUREMENT_FK element from table? Thanks.
You can select the elements that you need to be shown by right clicking on the diagram (not in the tables), and selecting the ones you need in View Details
I need to model database in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler.
I have to create ARC relationship (XOR), but I don't know how.
I have found checkbox "In Arc" in Foreign Keys properties, but it is disable (grey). I don't see any other options, which pertain to Arc.
You need to select the relationship lines in the diagram, and then hit the 'New Arc' button on the main toolbar.
From the help:
"To create an arc, do so after creating all the relationships to be included. Select the entity box, select all relationship lines to be included (hold Shift and click each line), and click the New Arc button in the toolbar."
