I'm using the SaaS version so my questions assumes one has no access to backend server.
Is it possible to have a custom field fetch data from another form? The specific use-case is we have a list of employee designations that are very specific and have a 1 is to 1 relation with an employee name. I would like to build a report based on the Designation form to show the Designation and the associated Employee. The thing is, the user will be assigning the designation value from the Employee form.
(Workaround is to create an employee link field in Designation, but that is too cumbersome as the intention is to have a user only have access to Employee records, not designation forms.)
Thanks in advance for any help.

If it is just for report, you can create a report based on employee form as it already has a link to designation.
Or, it is not at all clear to me what you want to do.

Yes it is a report, but I think the report need to be based on Designation Form.
The business purpose is to have a ready report of provisioned designations (or work positions) and have it show who the employee filled in that position. If a designation is shown as empty (i.e. employee field is blank), then we can easily filter to see how many positions and which positions are to be filled at any given point in time.
The solution you provided below will not readily answer the question "which designations are empty"?

Though it is possible to use a custom field, you should create a query report for this, since your purpose is to just find out unfilled designation. This amounts to less code overall.
But we will have to add it for you since query reports are only allowed to be created by administrators.
