Hi everyone! I’m just getting started with Glide Apss and I’ve been doing some tutorials for learning. Particularly, I started with the [Conference app tutorial] and had some trouble when you’re supposed to create the linked column between speakers and talks. When selecting the fields of each tab, it associates the wrong column, showing the description instead of the speaker. I would really appreciate it if someone can help me with this ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drpjh2CJSpA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drpjh2CJSpA))

> I think I may have another bug regarding relations… (or maybe I am missing something) I’m working through the Conference App demo. When I create the relation from the Speakers to the Talks, it is showing the talk description rather than the Talk Titles. ie. This instead of this: [image] I verified this is the case in the template I copied.

I’m having the same issue doing the Conference app. It only appears to link the right column if you delete the wrong column. The same happens when you try to link the talk name with their speakers. Any thoughts on this?

> The other day someone else reported it shows the next column (in relation to the position of the column used for the relation). Maybe it’s a bug. For your information @darren, it used to be the first column regardless of what column you want to relate to. The thing they show in the editor is just to let you know that they found something to report back.

It’s just a display issue. If you read my comments on the other post, you’ll see that it shouldn’t affect how the app works.
