Hey there! So I got a relation and look up working, however i’m struggling to pull the look up data into a component on my glide app (see attached). The “interview look up” column doesn’t appear in the list of available columns when making a new glide component. Any help or a work around here would be greatly appreciated… Thanks in advance! ![Screen Shot 2023-01-26 at 9.10.49 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/4/c49f374bf2ca4e1abad956eba7706bde71243779.png) ![Screen Shot 2023-01-26 at 9.11.11 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/e/dedf16fda495b04d5e48ff749dedbda952b941eb.png) ---

Your lookup is returning an array, which suggests that it’s probably operating through a _multiple_ relation. You probably want to change that to a _single_ relation. ---

Thank you! The Lookup Column (ie. “Interview Lookup”) isn’t visible as a source for the glide component. Is it possible that arrays aren’t able to be connected to components for some reason? ---

You can’t shove a box full of pencils into a pencil sharpener at the same time. For the same reason, you can’t use an array column of potential multiple values in a component that only accepts a single value. Either change your relation to a single relation, or use a joined list column instead of a lookup column to get a comma delimited list of values, which is actually a single value instead of an array. ---

Hehe, randomly thought of that the other day. Seemed like a good time to use it. ---
