Hi, Iv’e been trying to access a property of a referenced item using code.
I have one data-collection called ‘A’, and one of it’s properties is a reference to an item from data-collection B.

On one of my pages I have a dataset connected to data-collection A.
In the code of the said page Iv’e been trying to access a property of the referenced item. Unfortunately, no matter what I have done - it didn’t work.

Example of the code:
var item = $(“#dataset1”).getCurrentItem();
var refItem = item.refItemB;
var number = refItem.number;

I’m trying to reach and access the “number” property .

Please help me to figure out this issue, Thank you very much!

Hi,
Check out with reference .

wixData.query("myCollection")
  .include("referenceField")
  .find()
  .then( (results) => {
    let items = results.items;
    let firstItem = items[0];
    let firstRefProp = firstItem.referenceField.propertyName;
  } )
  .catch( (error) => {
    let errorMsg = error.message;
    let code = error.code;
  } );

Well your solution does give me an access to the referenced properties. However, when I’m trying to implement this method inside a “forEachItem()” function of a repeater, I can’t define the repeated elements. It sets all the repeated items to be the same instead of having unique values.

Please help me, thank you very much!
