Missing fields in junction object report types is a persistent Salesforce limitation that typically requires administrator intervention and time-consuming approval processes to resolve.
Here’s how to get immediate access to all the connected object fields you need without waiting for report type modifications.
Why the standard fix process is problematic
The native Salesforce approach requires your administrator to modify or create custom report types, involves time-consuming approval processes, and is limited by Salesforce’s relationship traversal rules. Even after implementation, these custom report types require ongoing maintenance when field requirements change.
Get missing fields immediately using Coefficient
Coefficient completely eliminates report type dependencies by providing direct access to all Salesforce objects and their relationships, giving you instant access to any fields your permissions allow.
How to make it work
Step 1. Bypass report types entirely with direct object access.
Use Coefficient’s “From Objects & Fields” import method instead of relying on existing Salesforce report types. This connects directly to your junction object and all its relationships without configuration constraints.
Step 2. Select your junction object as the primary data source.
Choose your junction object from Coefficient’s object list. This establishes the foundation for accessing all connected object fields without being limited by report type configurations.
Step 3. Access all related fields from connected objects.
Expand the related object sections in Coefficient’s interface to view and select all available fields from connected objects. You’ll see every field that was missing from your report type, plus any others you need.
Step 4. Configure custom field selection and filtering.
Pick exactly the fields you need without being constrained by report type configurations. Apply complex filtering logic across all related objects and set up automated refreshes to keep data current.
Step 5. Set up dynamic updates for ongoing access.
Configure scheduled imports to automatically refresh your data and ensure you always have access to new fields as they’re added to objects. This eliminates the need for future report type maintenance.
Solve missing fields problems permanently
This approach transforms the “missing fields” problem from a system limitation into immediate data access with complete control. Get started with unrestricted junction object field access today.
