Problem<\/strong>
\nRecently faced one issue where lookup control was showing as “No Name”, so we are going to discuss steps to solved it.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong>
\nWhen I saw this issue, first thing I checked primary field in the parent entity if it contains data or not, but it was not blank. Another strange thing I noticed, as soon as I saved value was coming correctly.<\/p>\n

Normally this type of issue occurs if<\/p>\n

> Primary field is blank (as by default primary field is displayed in the lookup control)
\n> If we are setting up lookup using javascript and while setting we are not setting name field.<\/p>\n

In this case non of the above condition was true as there was not script involved in setting up lookup field. I also checked the relationship to make sure ti is setup correctly.<\/p>\n

After that I thought of looking into lookup view, while looking at lookup field, I noticed there was a different view setup as default. Next I checked field in that view and found primary field was not there, I know all lookup view have primary field by default and we can’t remove that field from lookup view. So I added primary field there and after that I was able to see correct name in the lookup control.<\/p>\n

So if you have changed view for the lookup control make sure primary field is there!<\/p>\n

Hope it will help someone!
