Enable Lookup Name property on Read Tasks of objects that have it referenced
Hi,
Would it be possible to have the lookup name (or any other column the lookup has) value added as part of the output when working with entities on Formulas in Business Processes?
The values are already loaded when a read task is executed as shown on the trace 
There's already logic in place to get extra values from the lookup, not all columns but clearly Name is already there.
It would really help with business process building speed, reading and understanding if we don't need to add a read task to get the text value of a lookup all the time.
It would significantly reduce the number of actions and the complexity of the business process
Thank you
Do you like this idea?
+1 for adding Id / Display value by default for any Read Data element.
Yes please add this feature. We can end up a lot of unnecessary Read elements if we have this ability
I think adding in the ability to read related data in general in a single Read Data step would be amazing for both readability and performance. This functionality and UI is already set up nicely for things like filtering and List column setups, so getting it added to BPs would be a very natural extension! It would be especially useful when querying for collections of records, reducing potentially hundreds of individual reads (in subprocesses) to a single join in the original read.
I would also like to see the ability to sort records based on related object data too in the same way, as this can actually be impossible to work around with the current setup.
I raised a ticket asking for both of these a little while back, so hopefully these calls are all being added to the priority for such functionality! Ticket was #SR-01431536.
