**I have 2 collection**

Collection 1/2/3/4 etc - has the content I want to display  
Collection B - a collection with several multi-reference fields - each of these multi-references is link to 1 of the collection in Collection 1/2/3/4 - I made 3 selections.

Use the following process  
– Add 3 item repeater on page  
– Add 1 of the collection from 1/2/3/4 - say I added Collection 3  
– Add collection B to page  
Add filter to Collection 3 --selected Another Dataset from filter and selected the correct multi-reference field.

Connect text elements to fields in Collection 3  
NOT WORKING–no errors just that the correct field data are not showing.

Spent 5 days with customer support – USELESS - escalated – STILL NOT ANSWER
