 Optim Relationships Using Views

I am trying to define a new Access Definition that requires a View to be the parent for other tables. The view contains a CASTed column that the underlying table does not contain and is the key column needed in the relationship. I am able to define the relationship, but Optim is not acknowledging it. It currently says the relationship is in 'unknown' status, which usually implies it was deleted. However, I can open the relationship and view it. 

I don't usually need to work with views, so I have not encountered this before. Has anyone else had experience with using Views as a parent in an Optim relationship and how did you make it work correctly? 

Version: Optim on Windows v11.7.0.2

DBMS for the AD: SQL Server 2019

I appreciate the help from the community!
