Hello everyone,

I’m working on setting up **relations** in Glide, and everything is going well except for one specific scenario.

At one stage, when fetching the **matching value** , I have correctly selected **Property\_ID** (which is in the **4th column** of my table). However, instead of returning data from the expected column, it systematically pulls data from the **8th column** in a different table, which is a text column.

Has anyone experienced this issue before, or does anyone have insights on why this might be happening? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

Are you asking about what you see for a result in the relation column? It really doesn’t matter which column values you see. A Relation establishes a link to related **rows**. What you see in that relation is just telling you that it found matching **rows**.

Relations return rows. They do not return a specific column from those rows. If you need a specific column from those related rows, then you need a Lookup column referring to that specific column through the relation.
