It would be great to have also the following options based on the relation created between 2 tables. 1. To have a relation text component or to be able to select relation data from the normal components … in case we need to display several pieces of information based on the relation and to not have them only on the detail page of that page … but somewhere like in a dashboard 2. To be able to select in the visibility field also the field from the table that has a relation with the one we are editing 3. to be able to use in the functions columns data from the table that has a relation with the table we are editing. ---

Do you mean as opposed to creating a lookup column against the relation and using the lookup value? ---

@Jeff_Hager Didn’t see that feature and it solves somehow points 1 and 3 and also solves something else I was looking into. But still, even for 1 and 3 you have to create additional columns, to bring the data again in the current table and to be able to use it in functions and in display … a relation is already created … why not just use it in display, visibility and functions. ---

Sounds a lot like Inline Lookups. > [@Select values from relations just like "User \>" (Inline Lookups)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/select-values-from-relations-just-like-user-inline-lookups/26092): > > Just like we can choose a value from a user profile sheet during if/then/else columns, template columns, filtering/visibility conditions, etc, would love to be able to do the same via relations. It would cut down on SO MUCH app bloat. @david @mark @tristan Here’s a mockup: This one is high on the list of most requested features. Glide have said in the past that they plan to do it. We just don’t know when. If I was to hazard a guess, I’d say that getting Apps onto the NCM would have removed a fairly significant road block in terms of getting this one done. ---

@Darren_Murphy that’s right … what NCM means ? ---
