Hi everyone,  
I’ve created an automation that appends in the description field of an item in database A, the content of another item in database B that has a many-to-many relation with A.  
I’ve used the formula {- Field Name in A.Field1 Name in B -} as described in the section “Using one-to-many or many-to-many field shortcuts” inside the [Markdown Template Guide](https://the.fibery.io/@public/search/4pDEX#User_Guide/Guide/Markdown-Templates-53) however, instead of the field’s value I get its Id.  
Does someone has any idea about what I’m supposedly doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

You’re not doing anything wrong. Accessing rich text for a related entity only works for to-one relations.  
You can access primitive fields for entities in collection relations this way, but not rich text.
