Select Entries or Relationship field inside a grid in Low variables

Sean 27 Aug 2015 14:22 question, complete

Hi Low,

I've got a grid field inside Low Variables where I would like to add a relationship cell or select entries cell, but unfortunately those options are not available within grid inside low variables.

Would you be able to add this in a future release?

   The Relationships field can only be used in a Channel Entry context; a limitation EllisLab has set.
   
   The Select Entries var type is a Variable Type, not a Field Type, and therefore not compatible with Grid.
   
   You might want to look a Playa instead. That works inside a Matrix, and I think it works inside Grid, too.

   Thanks Low... will look at playa...

   For anyone else searching for this option, playa also does not work inside grid in low Variables. Works fine in grid in a channel but not in low variables.
   
   Guessing that this is for the same reason that Low iterates above.
