# Search in Fields Referencing Other Fields

In the CoB platform it is possible in a given instance to create fields that reference other fields. When accessing the settings of an instance, the user can identify the fields that reference other fields through the magnifying glass located next to the description box of fields with that type. In that box, the user can search for references to another definition, as shown in the images below.


To search for results related to values of these fields that reference other fields you will have to add the suffix _reference to get the desired results, as the video included below shows.
