How to reference a non-key column of another table

So, Table A has column ID (key) and column A1.
Now, I need to create a Table B with a column whose values must be chosen dynamically among A1 values.
Is there a strategy for doing this?
Thanks in advance

Hi, try this, one way of doing it:
in table B, in the column you want to use: under data validity - valid if: tableA[A1]

Alternatively you can create a reference to tableA, depending on what the relationship between those two tables is.

Thanks, the โ€œValidity ifโ€ is the solution!
On the other side, I am not sure if the reference can be done, because itโ€™s not referencing the primary key.
Unfortunately there is a bit of additional work to do in order to mimic the relationship between the tables, you need to create actions with navigations using LINKTOFILTEREDVIEW.
Itโ€™d be nice to have everything already cooked. Maybe should I post a new feature request for implementing this?
