I have added columns to a table that are a lookup from another table that I established a relation with, but I can’t then get these to show as options to add in my fields component. What am I doing wrong? ---

Is your relation a multiple relation? If yes, change it to a single relation. ---

Edit the relation column and you should see a checkbox. Make sure it is unchecked. ---

Ah, that explains it. I’m not an Airtable user, so I’m not sure if anything can be done on the Airtable side to address that, but what you can do is recreate the column in Glide, and you’ll then have the option to choose. ---

Once you do that, reconfigure your Lookup columns to source the new relation column. ---
