Use Lightning Connect to link an External Object with Salesforce Users Issue

Part of the questions asks for the following:

"Change the 'UUID' field on the 'Phone__x' external object to be an indirect lookup relationship to the 'User' standard object. Use the 'Phone_UUID__c' field as the matching key for this indirect lookup relationship."

Every time I create this Indirect Relationship, it just allows me to select the "Accounts" Object, not the User object. Why is this happening? Can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Figured it out. Did not select the field as "Unique" and therefore it won't show up on as a selectable object.

I am still having an issue with this challange, how did you get the user object to appear in the indirect lookup?  I am only seeing the account object so each time when I check the challange I get the following error "The User standard object does not have a custom field with the API name 'Phone_UUID__c'.

Hi Logan , you should create a  'Phone UUID' custom field on the User standard object .The field should be of type 'Text' and marked as 'Unique' and 'External ID'. If you dont mark it as unique it wont appear in the lookup.

I did mark my Phone_UUID as Unique and ExternalID.  And, I believe the indirect relationship has been established.  Then, why am I still getting the error:
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The 'Phone__x' external object is not correctly setup with an indirect relationship to the User standard object.

Pl. refer to the following screen shots below:

Hi Munira, can you verify if your "phones" external object have an "s" at the end of de API name? The API name should be phone__x instead of phones__x.
