> 🙋‍♂️ **PaulPhillips** _asked_

## Good day, I am very new to nocodb, I have two tables, TableA and TableB. TableB has 3 columns, A,B and C. If I create a Link Between Table A and B, is it possible to select which field I see from Table B?

#### link between table (link to another record field) will display primary value of the other table. to see a different field from Table B, you will have to change the primary value field of Table B.

#### 

#### to change primary value of a table- click menu-down button associated with that column, and click on set-primary value.
