reference with multiple collections

[ciriousjoker]

We have a someRef property that can be either somecol1/docid or somecol2/docid.

We want to preview those documents based on a common map property "name" (specifically "name.en").

Current workaround:

• Create onFetch callback
• Spread someRef into someRef1 and someRef2
• Mark these as readonly
• Display the fake properties as separate columns

Solution works but is obviously not optimal. I can't suggest a better solution though aside from "make it easier somehow" :D

Mmm, you should be able to customise the preview properties of a ref: https://firecms.co/docs/properties/config/reference#previewproperties

I think you can customise those by using a PropertyBuilder, based on the value: https://firecms.co/docs/properties/conditional_fields

Let me know if that works

I didn't even know about the builders so far. Code is way cleaner now, thanks a lot! :)
