Hello the community, I make an app to help people in the same city to lend things. So I have lots of people that can connect to the app, add things, see things available and call other people. The problem: I link people to his objects with the email adress and a relation between the two sheets. But when I need to show information about the owner on the view of the object, I always have the information about the sign-in-user… Can you help me ? Thanks ! ---

Do you have a relation from the object sheet to the user sheet? I recommend a multiple relation because this lets you display in inline list that shows the object owners profile. If all you need is a name or email, then you can use a single relation from object to the user sheet. The single relation will allow you to create several lookup columns to get certain information out of a relation. ---

Hello Jeff, Thank you so much for your answer. Yes, I made the relation between object sheet and user sheet, and chose multiple relation. I need a name and a phone. I also created lookup columns, but I can’t see it, when I am in the component options. ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/7/77a482758a4267064e79d26365754460c23e7a10.png) ---

The Lookup columns added on my object sheet do not appear in the choices in the component options. ---

If you are just trying to pull out specific values with the lookup, then the relation will need to be a single relation to make the lookup columns visible. Otherwise you are trying to fill a single value component with a lookup that could potentially hold up to thousands of values. A single relation will make the lookup a single value lookup that you can display in a single value component. A multiple relation is useful if you want a direct link to the entire user profile, which has to be done with a multiple because lists don’t work with a single relation. Since that’s not what you are going for, the single relation will work fine. If your Lookups are still unavailable after switching to a single relation, you may need to recreate them. ---

For future considerations, if you absolutely need to use a multiple relation and don’t want to have both single & multiple, then you can use a single value column to bring back data from a multiple relation. I believe it works the same way as the lookup.
