Troubleshooting Auto-Population of Company Table Data in Tutorials

why the field Company table data is not auto - populated with the company name? I see in this tutorial https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/enrich-people-waterfalls-automated-outbound (lesson 5) it happens, I replicated the structure but does not happens in my table. Should I name the columns in the same way the tutorial does?

The Company Table data column typically shows as a lookup reference, not the actual company name. When you click on any row in the Company column, it pulls a lookup of all fields from the company table for the relevant company. To display the actual company name, you need to pull out the company name field and add it as a separate column. Column naming doesn't need to match the tutorial exactly - the functionality depends on the proper table relationships and field mappings, not specific column names.

how the standard lookup is done? i think it is actually done against some column name or Id I should not change

Hey there! Happy to help with this - can you share the link to your table so I can take a closer look?

Hey there! If I'm understanding correctly is the issue with the Company record lookup? On my end it seems as though it's populating

Hey Jari, it started populating since I called the field "Company Name". I did some tests and if the field name is different, the default lookup (which could not be over-written) done after the enrichment is not populating the column! But now it worked with this work-around
