Missing related object fields when building junction object reports in Salesforce is a common frustration caused by the platform’s native reporting architecture limitations and report type configurations.
Here’s why this happens and how to get complete access to all related object fields you need.
The problem with Salesforce’s native reporting limitations
Salesforce’s report builder has several technical constraints that prevent you from seeing all related object fields. Report types may not include all available related object fields by default, multi-level relationship traversal is often restricted, and the standard report builder doesn’t automatically expose all lookup relationship fields.
Why this creates ongoing problems
These limitations mean you’re often working with incomplete data or waiting for administrator intervention to modify report types. Even when custom report types are created, they require ongoing maintenance and may still not include all the fields you need.
Access all related object fields using Coefficient
Coefficient bypasses these limitations by connecting directly to Salesforce’s API, providing unrestricted access to all object relationships and fields regardless of report type configurations.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect directly to your junction object.
Use Coefficient’s “From Objects & Fields” feature to connect to any Salesforce object without relying on existing report types. This gives you immediate access to the object and all its relationships.
Step 2. Expand relationship sections to view all connected object fields.
Coefficient automatically displays all available related objects and their complete field lists. You’ll see every field that your Salesforce user permissions allow, not just those included in pre-configured report types.
Step 3. Select any combination of fields from junction and related objects.
Choose exactly which fields you need using simple checkboxes. Coefficient handles all the technical relationship navigation, so you can access fields from multiple levels of related objects simultaneously.
Step 4. Apply cross-object filtering and automation.
Set up filters that work across multiple related objects and configure automated refreshes to keep your data current. New fields added to objects become immediately available without any additional setup.
