For whatever reason (not using FileMaker that often I guess), I’ve forgotten how to included multiple portals on a layout with different TOs (and have them display data).

**The first portal that is a direct child works OK.**

But the other portals which don’t descend directly from the overall layout table don’t work.

Do you have to create another relationship between these non-direct-child portal layouts to the main portal backing table for these other portals to work?

Thanks,

Figured it out. I was not manually, via script, populating the M:M foreign.
