Hello everyone,

I am building a new QGIS/QField project from scratch.

**Version** QGIS 3.40.5, QField 4.2.4 (iOS), Latest QFieldSync

**Project**

One GeoPackage containing:

- dtrn\_kanten (Line layer)
- dtrn\_knoten (Point layer)
- lut\_fuehrungsform (No geometry table)

The lookup table contains two fields:

- code (Integer)
- bezeichnung (String)

The line layer contains:

- fuehrungsform\_code (Integer)

The attribute form uses a **Value Relation** :

- Layer = lut\_fuehrungsform
- Key = code
- Value = bezeichnung

In QGIS everything works correctly and the dropdown list is displayed.

I also created a **Project Relation** under Project → Properties → Relations.

I packaged the project with QFieldSync, copied it to my iPhone and opened the packaged project.

**Problem:** In QField the field is displayed as a numeric spinner (+/-) instead of a dropdown list.

Things I already tried:

- recreated the project from scratch
- recreated the GeoPackage
- recreated the Value Relation
- created a Project Relation
- saved the project
- packaged again with QFieldSync
- deleted and reinstalled QField

The problem persists.

Is this a known issue on iOS or am I missing a required configuration?
