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
