The other option is to have it all in one site collection. Site Collection A will be the source of record for the lookup fields, so if anything changes on A, it will reflect on B. Hopefully I am making sense. Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated.
How to save lookup column from another site collection?
A few of the articles I’ve read is to use a content hub, but there could be limitations, so should I just build it in PowerApps and save the lookup into a text field on Site B or do I need to do the lookup from Site Collection B first? The other option is to have it all in one site collection.
I have attempted to populate a value into a text field using the lookup but nothing shows up. I am trying to pull a value from a SharePoint list based on a drop-down selection that’s tied to a vlookup column in another SharePoint list.
Which is the source of the lookup fields?
Site Collection A will be the source of record for the lookup fields, so if anything changes on A, it will reflect on B. Hopefully I am making sense. Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated.
SharePoint Online not provide an OOTB feature to build cross site collection lookup field. As a workaround, you could write some custom JavaScript code call SharePoint Rest API, get data from site collection A and bind to a html dropdown.

How to get information from another site collection?
After searching the web I have only seen options to get information from another site collection and put it in a web part, but I need the lookup to be a list column. I’m aware this will likely require some form of customizations / custom code – please go easy on me with easy to follow instructions as I’ve never delved into customizations before.
I have an existing SharePoint custom list with various columns. I require an additional column that is a lookup to a list in another site collection which I’m aware is not possible OOTB. How can I achieve this?
