# Lookup Fields

{% embed url="<https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042312194-Lookup-field-overview>" %}

A lookup field allows you to pull record contents from one linked record into another linked record. As a reminder, linked relationships can be either within the same table or across two separate tables.

### Displaying on a single line

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Template" %}

```
{{company_names}}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Data" %}

```
{
    "company_names": [ "Documint", "SunRun" ]
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Untitled" %}
Documint, Sunrun
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Displaying on multiple lines

1. Add `{{this}}`as your variable and select the element where the lookup field will be displayed.
