  1. I am using a lookup field in form B, using data from form A.
  2. When I export the data from form B and then import it back, my lookup field is now blank when I go to edit the record even though the data in the CSV perfectly matches the data in form A.
  3. After import I have to click entry by entry and update those blank fields, and I have over 9,000 records.
  4. Is there a way to populate my lookup field without going record by record? Please help.

What kind of lookup field are you using in Form B, dynamic or standard lookup?

Standard Lookup. After Import, when I view my entries through the Formidable back-end "Entries" page I can see the field contents, but when I click "Edit" and go inside the record the field is blank and I have to manually click the Lookup dropdown and reselect the answer. After my import, about 60% of the fields are blank, and about 40% are there when I click edit. I appreciate your help.
