Hello,

I’m looking for some help. I have a collection called Order Items. One of the properties is a relationship with another collection called Cart Categories.

When I create an action that creates a new record in Order Items, I am not able to see the options found in Cart Categories. Therefore, the property is just left blank.

Here is a video to show you the issue I’m having. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @get-the-memo ,

Before linking to Album Product Detail Screen, there should be Cart Category list, so that this screen will receive as available data.

You can use a button or icon inside the Cart Category list and then link to Album Product Detail Screen

Thank you @Yongki for your reply. You are correct. I did not have the Cart Category being received as available data into the Album Product Detail Screen.

Now I do thanks to your good advice. But I’m still not able to edit that property when I create an Order Item. I realize I’m still doing something wrong but I don’t know what. It only gives me the option to select “Current Cart Category” which there is none.

Thank you

For this, you can let user to choose the category first, or if you want to wrap them on a button, use make list on the left panel and set the filter to the category you want.
