    Hi all! I have a grid in the backend see picture below.
    I need to show pagetitle of resource instead of compID numbers.
    I was thinking about JOINS in MIGXdb Settings - but it doesn't work for me.
    Please correct or give some hint? CompID is resourceList TV. When I right-click in grid and edit row it appears as it must - as a resource pagetitle...

      You could use the renderChunk renderer in conjunction with getResourceField in your grid.

      Chunk "compIDrenderer":
      [[getResourceField? &id=`[[+compID]]` &field=`pagetitle`]]

        This is close but doesn't work - getResourceField brakes all. Even if I try 
        [[getResourceField? &id=`1`]]
        it brakes the grid (nothing is displayed in it).
        I guess I need to make this renderer some other way...

          That's correct. getResourceField isn't working.

          fastfield works for me:

          Chunk:
          [[!#[[+compID]].pagetitle]]
