Hello! I’m new to Glide and attempting to create a Module that links to multiple lessons, and each lesson when selected by the user would then link to multiple sub categories. However, I am struggling to create the “menu within a menu” because the lessons are linked to the module via a relations column, so I am struggling to understand how to link my sub categories. Does anyone know how to get around this problem? ---

The relation linking Module to Lessons needs to be in the parent table (ie. the Module table). When viewing the detail screen for a specific module, you can then add a collection sourced from the relation which will only list the Lessons associated with the module you are viewing. Likewise, you can do the same thing linking Lessons to Sub-Categories. Create a relation in the Lessons table linking to the Sub-Categories table and place a collection sourced from that relation on the Lesson detail screen. > **[Relations | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/automation/computed-columns/relations)** > > Create relationships and link rows together. ---

Thank you Jeff! Everything worked as you said, but the one issue I’m having now is that in the final step (Modules\>Lessons\>Sublessons) when the user clicks on sublessons all of the text appears at once instead of as clickable options in a list format. Would you know why this is the case? ---
