What is the syntax for a relationship replacement token in a Map Tip?

Does anybody know this? We're trying to get a field from a relationship that has been included in the realtinoship configuration of the rest manager.  I tried everything that I found in the "replacement tokens" page in the API ref (https://docs.geocortex.com/essentials/4.9/admin-help/Default.htm#ge/admin/replacement-tokens.htm) and have been unsuccessful at getting anything to appear.  It seems that a configured relationship should be accessable by a {realtionship.field}-type toekn but we're not getting it to work.  Ideas?

  Hi Zack,

   

  This is possible to do. In the feature description or feature long description of the layer with the relationship, the token is of the type {relationship.field} as you say.

   

  If you look at the ArcGIS Rest Endpoint of your layer, towards the bottom of the page you should see:

   

  "Relationships:" and a list of any related tables.

   

  So for the token, use the name of the related table as the first part of your token - i.e. {relationship.

   

  Then for the field part, click on your related table and choose a field name from in here.

   

  If everything is valid, then this should show a result on your viewer.

   

  I hope this helps,

   

  Marion.

  Thank you for the help Marion, but you were only 99% right!  The first part of the token is the display name of the relationship, not the relationship name as seen at the AGS REST endpoint.  Now, I had tried this earlier but there must have been some operator error for that test because while I would have sworn that it didn't work two days ago it is working this morning.

   

  My fun fact for the day: I am aparently illiterate.  C'est la vie!
