So, I’m experimenting rules (super cool!) and I saw that text templating is supported, as in the example that Fibery itself gives: Something happened with {{Name}} on \<%= new Date()%\> I understood that {{Name}} will show the name of the entity. Now, I have a task entity and I wanted the message to show the assigned person to that task. In the message that would be: Deadline for {{assigned person}} task is today! This {{assigned person}} I’m trying to show is actually a Relation field inside the task entity, related to Users. So, is it possible to display the user selected on this relation for the task on the message? Thank you! =) ---

You’ll need to reference the name field of the linked relation. So if you have a relation to (a single) user and the field is called ‘Owner’, you would use {{Owner.Name}} ---

It’s a bit different if it’s a relation to many users. In this case, you need to decide how to represent the user names. Should it be a list, a table or something else?

It didn’t work, actually. When I run it, it displays [object Array]. This relation is a relation to the User database but only one user is selected from the database list. That’s the case you’re considering, right? Thx! ---

Is it a relation that allows one or many users to be selected? A screenshot would allow us to confirm. What is the name of the relation field? ---

Yes, the relation does allow many users… The name of the relation field is Responsaveis (portuguese for responsibles): ![Captura de Tela 2023-01-15 às 23.25.15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/0fbc1711811722a913a023c5e4a05a9a3879b03e.png) And this is the rule: ![Captura de Tela 2023-01-15 às 23.24.55](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/a/a58d24ae072d614bdea85d10854ac03302ed905e.png) Thanks! ---

You might need to create a separate formula field first which combines multiple names together. Something like this: ![Screenshot 2023-01-16 at 2.37.15 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/b/ba1f78a895d59b7fa6355a9a60a959578ba5fdc1.png) Then use that field in your message. ---

Try this `{= Responsaveis:Name =}` you should get a comma separated list of names ---

This one didn’t worked. Thanks! I’ve first tried @ChrisG’s solution and it worked! =) ---
