Hi everyone, I use several no-code tools to build apps for my clients and I love Glide for it. To be more efficient in my databases, I would like to be able to see and use all the columns of the sheet I’ve linked to the current one. #### Let me explain this in an example: In a theoretical dating app, there will be user profile and a tab where you can find all your matchs. I would like in the match table to only be : **|** email\_that\_made\_request **|** email\_has\_been\_matched **|** date\_of\_match **|** If we had **“deep” relations** , we will be able to display easily all users informations in the match page by selecting : match \> user\_that\_made\_request \> name (or any other info in user table). And we could go deeper into relations of relations. I’ve look into the [feature request app](https://features.staging.glideapp.io/) (which is a desktop app now 😉 ) but not found any request like that. I would like to discuss it with the community before make an “official” request. Thanks for your inputs! ---

Right now I’m forced to do really too many lookups and IF/Else column 😓 ![CleanShot 2020-04-28 at 18.13.15@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/4/48965b688abc32e1b26abd319e36c877a932e342.png) ---

Ok, so this new functionality will help a LOT: > [@raising\_hand\_woman User Profile columns in conditions and columns](https://community.glideapps.com/t/user-profile-columns-in-conditions-and-columns/8093): > > If you’re using [User Profiles](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/privacy-and-per-user-data/user-profiles), you can now use columns from the currently signed-in user in visibility conditions as well as in computed columns in the Data Editor. Here’s an example where we enable the Edit screen only if the signed-in user is an “editor”: You can read more about it [in our docs](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/privacy-and-per-user-data/user-profiles). As always, we love to hear your feedback! ---

Yes, the new feature will make things a lot easier. I do like your idea though. If we create a single relation column, it would be nice to access everything from the relation without having to create a bunch of lookups. ---

I totally agree!
