Reference Fields in Feeds
How to create, link, and display reference fields in Feeds
Reference fields let you link data from different CMS Feeds and display it in one place. For example, you can create a separate Feed for authors and display their information in blog posts without entering the same data manually. Here is how to set it up.

How to Link a Reference Field to a Feed
Open the required Feed, click "Fields" in the left menu, and add a new "Relation" reference field.
Enter a title and select the Feed you want to link in the "Feed" field. Then save the changes.
Open a post and find the new field in the post card. The dropdown menu will show all posts from the Feed you selected. Select the required post from the list. You can then display its fields in the tiles of the current Feed or in a post page template in Zero Block.
How to Display a Reference Field in Feed Tiles
Open the page where you created post tiles in Zero Block. Open the Block Editor and add a new element, such as Text.
Move the element to the "Post" group. Then add any other elements you want to link to fields from the linked Feed.

For example, you can add an image and two text elements. The image can display the author's photo, while the text elements display their name and position. For clarity and convenience, you can style and group the elements in advance.
Select an element and click the Link to Feed icon in the settings panel on the right. In the context menu, select the reference field. Hover over it to see all available fields from the linked Feed. Click the required field to link it to the element.

Repeat these steps for each element you want to link to fields from another Feed.
In this example, we linked the image, name, position, and color. The screenshot below shows how these fields appear in the "Authors" Feed.
This way, you can link CMS Feeds and display data from one Feed in the tiles of another.
How to Display a Reference Field in a Feed Post Page Template
Reference fields can also be displayed in a post page template.

Open the Zero Block that contains the post fields. Click the plus icon and, under "Post Template," select the required field from the linked field menu.
The added fields will be linked to the Feed automatically.
You can also add any element to Zero Block and link it to a reference field manually. Select the element, click the Link to Feed icon, and select the required linked field from the list.
How to Display a Reference Field in FD**** Blocks
Reference fields can also be displayed in any block from the "Feeds and CMS" category.

Open the Block Library, go to the "Feeds and CMS" category, and add the required block to the page. Then click "Content" to edit it.

Expand the "Items" tab and click "Add new item."
In the context menu, hover over the reference field you previously added to the Feed. A submenu with fields from the linked Feed will open. Select the required field.
Set a style for the added field. For example, in this case, a reference text field is added and the "Tag" style is selected. The field will then appear in the post cards.
