> [@J\_v](#): > > If you are still seeing **QUERY** in the cell after following every step to add a “Relation” column, it means Glide is treating that column as a **Query-type column** , not a true Relation column No that is not what it means. That looks like an AI response, which isn’t always accurate. If you see the word ‘Query’ as a clickable value in a cell, that means you are using a Glide Big Table. Big Tables only load data as needed. When viewing in the data editor it will not load the entire contents of the table, and instead show Query for content that loads dynamically. The front end handles this loading automatically as needed, but sometimes you need to click on it manually while in the data editor. That is normal and expected behavior that will work properly on the front end. If you want to see the value on the back end, just click on Query. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/true-relation-column-not-set/84632)._
