Hi,

I’m trying to print out the results from a query on one of my collections which has a “Multiple Item” reference field. However, when I print it out using console.log() the object does not contain the reference field at all.

Is it possible to get this array of information for use in code?

Actually, it seems like you can’t access ANY of the reference fields, whether they are multiple items or not. Is there a way for me to have the query return objects with the reference fields included? This would be super useful!

Hi,  
It’s possible.  
Take a look at the example here:

> **[WixDataQuery - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-data/wixdataquery)**
>
> Contains functionality for refining a data query.

Good luck!  
Roi.

Hi Roi, can you please explain if there’s a way to use the Include function on multiple item reference fields?
