Red text in my data

The data in my grid is showing up red. When I hover over, it says “Invalid Reference.”

What does this mean?

When text shows up red and displays the “Invalid Reference” error, it’s indicating that:

  1. This field is a reference field (which can be seen in the fields list or the data dictionary), and
  2. Their is no corresponding data for this field to reference to in the referenced collection.

For example, if I’m attempting to reference two collections together on user email, that email needs to exist in both collections. If the text is displaying red, it means that the user email cannot be found in the other collection and therefore cannot be used as a reference field for that specific user email.
