My app’s URL: [https://major-sweeps.glideapp.io/](https://major-sweeps.glideapp.io/)

I am having a problem with added lookup columns not appearing as options when adding new Action Text components to a layout. Refer to the following screen shot:

 ![Screen Shot 2020-08-27 at 4.35.13 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/9/98d48e41521b7ba312f3dff9373c0b450eef1f2d.png)

The `User Relation` column in the above is a relation to my Users sheet, keyed by `Real Name` = `Users.Name`. The `Image`, `Nickname` and `Location` columns are Lookups based on this relation. As can be seen, the relation and lookups appear to be correct, as all 3 are populated with data from my users sheet.

With the above in place, my expectation is that I would now be able to use these columns in a layout associated with this table. However, when I attempt to add any of these to an `Action Text` component, none of them are presented as options.

Interestingly, all 3 do appear as options for the `Image` in a `Title` component.  
Am I missing something fundamental here? Can lookup columns _only_ be used for images?

thanks,  
Darren

Looks like your relation is set to multiple matches, it should be single for it to work.
