About the flexibility of the relationship

[blueMountain007]

Let's start with the example in the relationship document

By default, ObjectID is used as the value of relationship, but if I want to use other fields of the owner collection, it is very inconvenient.
Suppose the owner collection has other fields such as name, desc. How can I get the name and desc conveniently?

For example, through the REST API mentioned in the documentation.

I feel the above process is too cumbersome. Is there an easy way?

@jmikrut Do you have any ideas? Thanks

Are you asking how to query a collection on the fields of a relationship?

You can do that with dot notation:

/api/cars?where[owner.name][equals]=Dan

If that isn't what you're after, can you explain in more detail what is you're trying to do?

Thanks!
