When trying to lookup a value cross-web (child to parent) the lookup is blank, there is nothing to pick from. No error is thrown.
I have this configuration...
A root web site called ParentWeb contains a List called 'Accounts' and a sub-site called 'ChildWeb'.
ChildWeb contains: a Document Library with a Content type that has a Lookup column called 'AccountCol'.
AccountCol is connected to Accounts (in the parent web).
Notes:
Content Type extends default Document Content Type.
Both sites are based on Team Site template.
All the above items are in web scoped features.
Using SP 2013 & Visual Studio 2012
Latest CU's are installed.
When I implement this configuration via the GUI it work perfectly, that is, when I create a new document in the ChildWeb document Library I can select an Account from the lookup select box. It is only when I try this scenario with solution packages in VS that it fails and the lookup select box is empty.
Can someone please offer a solution of even some insite into this issue?
