Super simple question about table relationships and rows disappearing

Hi there. Feeling like a total newbie asking this, but here goes.

I have two tables, IssueLinks and Issues, with a many-to-one relationship; Issues filters IssueLinks.

 

I have 3 Issues.ISSUE_KEY records, as shown below. Of these 3 records, only 1 (SUP-4000) also exists in IssueLinks.

 

When I add IssueLinks.ISSUE_KEY, only the record that exists in both Issues and IssueLinks appears:

 

What I need to have happen instead is that, when I add IssueLinks.ISSUE_KEY to the same table visual, I want 1) all 3 rows from Issues.ISSUE_KEY to still appear, 2) show records in the IssueLinks.ISSUE_KEY column for matching records, and 3) for non-matching rows from IssueLinks, just show blanks.

 

This is the behavior I'd normally expect given the table relationship: Issues filters IssueLinks, not the other way around.

 

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Please help!

  • Hi Anonymous there's an option in the value wells (where you drop in fields/measures) to show all data.  Right click on the field and check that option.

    Hi Anonymous for posting this query. I have the same issue. And for the particular column which was not showing the values is resolved based on the above solution. 

     

    And littlemojopuppy thanks for providing the solution.

    But

    I have another challenge in the same data that when there are blank rows come then many other fields are not showing the data. As soon as I remove that field from the table then all other columns are showing correctly. How can I resolve this?
