Still trying to understand how Retool works. I have two tables: countries and clients. Client table has a country_id that is linked to the countries id table in PostGre.

I think I fixed it. I am not SQL-joining tables as the source of the Retool table component, but adding custom fields, using the following template: {{ getPortfolios.data.portfolio_name[currentRow.portfolio_id] }}
