Hmm, I would have thought it would create a report type for the Box object since that's the new one. But I guess Salesforce knows what it's doing.

I wonder if the report type would be different if the lookup field was added to the Box object instead of the Account object. Hmm, something to ponder.

It's interesting to think about how the perspective changes based on where the lookup field is added.

Yes, you're correct. Salesforce creates the report type based on the perspective of the parent object, so adding the lookup field to the Box object would show Boxes with associated Accounts in the report.
