Relations not visible in Collection component (New Glide Editor 2025)

1

Hi, I’m using the newest version of Glide (editor) and I have a working Relation in my data, but the relation subfields do not appear in any Collection layout.

What I have working:

  • Matches table (Glide Table)
  • candidate table (Glide Table)
  • Relation column Rel_candidate in Matches→ Type: Relation→ Single match→ Correct table + RowID
  • Relation correctly returns 1 item in the Data Editor
  • Distance and lookups work correctly
  • The candidate name exists in the related row
  • All data is correct and linked

The issue:

In the Layout Editor:

  • When I add a Collection component → I get the “Layout-first” version
  • This component does not show relation subfields
  • I see Rel_candidate (the relation object)
  • But I do not see Rel_candidate → name (Name)
  • No caret (>) appears next to the relation
  • When I select Rel_candidate as a field, the card shows nothing
  • Adding a “Data-first” Collection component does NOT appear in my editor
  • I cannot access relation subcolumns in any layout component

Goal:

I need to show:

  • Rel_candidate → Name
  • Rel_candidate → Tarif
  • etc.

inside the Matches list in an offer (job) detail view.

Question:

Is this a bug in the new Glide editor, or am I missing how to enable the Data-first Collection?

How can I access relation subfields in the new layout system?

Thanks,

Do you have lookup columns that pull the name and tarif out of the related rows?

Could you provide some screenshots? I see you’ve put effort in describing it well. However, screenshots would make it just a bit faster/easier to get to a solution;).

Screenshot:

  • table where you create the relation (data editor)
  • table where you’re trying to get the data from (relation source)
  • layout editor: screen + source selection for the collection item
  • title/description fields you’re trying to show in that collection
