How to Create Site Lookup Column
Hello, I want to create a link between Chapters and Manuals in a Document Library. I have created 2 Content Types - one for Chapters and one for Manuals. I now need to link the content types on a lookup column. The lookup column will only exists as a site column on the Chapters Content type and it should look up to the ManualID on the Manuals Content type. Except I can only see a way to "look up" to a another list in SharePoint .... no way to lookup to a site column? Is there a workaround?
