Returning data from an integer table reference column

Owsteen

Hello,

I am trying to return data from a referenced table column and not just the integer. I am using a WeWeb plug in for Xano backend. In my table #1, I have references to a record in table #2 in Column X. I am calling data in table #1 in weweb, and for column X, I am trying to get data of that row in table #2, but it only gives me the integer ID of that row in Table #2.

How do I change the returned value of a table reference? I know it is bad practice to re-create the data from Table #2 in Table #1.

The most Xano-ish way of doing this is implementing an Add-On so that the return from the query includes data from the referenced table. https://docs.xano.com/working-with-data/addons

Thank you, this worked!

Wonderful! We discuss the harder end of these kinds of issues in daily office hours on the Statechange Pro group.

Seems more of a shilled response than an actual answer but 🤷‍♂️. Love to see the actual implementation.
