Account ID showing up on field
Have a custom object name "Overview", created a new custom field data type "formula" named Account. The Account field is being pulled from another custom object "Highlight". Below is my formula:
Highlight__r.Account__c
However, when pulling the fied into the Overview field, i get the ID format instead (see screenshot: http://cl.ly/HXhM).
Is there any way I can get it to show the text instead of the ID?
Thanks!
