Modeler - Relate - Why is the option to join table entities greyed out?

Hello,

I am new to Birst, but have 8 years experience modeling in other BI tools such as Qlik, Tableau, and Power BI.

The field I want to join on is CustomerNumber, and it is populated in both tables, has the same Numeric data type, and column type is set to Attribute in both table entities.

The two table entity icon types I am using are 'ADR Scripted', created from 'ADR Raw' Sources.

This is the documentation I am using to walk through troubleshooting 'Relate Data' context.

If you have any feedback our other documcation to help me figure out how to have the option to join my table entities to start modeling my basic star schema data, I would appreciate it!

The modeling technique is a bit different in Birst ADR compared to other tools. Start here:

Also, there is an old GUI for lot of the instructions, but it works the same.

Thank You! The Modeling Training Video was better than the sources I found on my own, Helping me successfully troubleshoot and understand the hierarchy component better, while identifying my source conversion setting needs to be toggle switched to Convert to Discovery Source - On.
