Hey guys, trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong here. I’ve setup both single and multiple relations within my app, and they work great, but for this instance, I can’t seem to get it right. Maybe you can help me see what I’m doing wrong.

I have a tab titled Important Links. When a user clicks on the link, it brings up a title page that has description of the link, and also the link to the resource. I’d like to add a relation that shows the creator of the resource. So in Sheets, I have an Important Links tab that contains a column titled Creator that contains the name of a staff member that matches the name in another tab in Sheets titled Directory.

So, here’s how I set up the relation in the Important Links tab in the Data section.

Nothing is showing up. What am I missing here?

When I try to add the relation using an inline list, this is the message that I receive. But I’ve already setup a creator relation within the Important Links tab.

An inline list will pull multiple relations. Use a relation component instead.

Ha ha! Thanks, Robert. Once again, it’s right in front of my face, but can’t seem to find it.
