## Nested Lookup
On top of the previous structure, let's introduce one more table - `Project` which contains `ProjectName` and each employee can be assigned with multiple projects. If we want to include the lookup column `TeamCode` from Employee in Project, we can create a nested lookup.
< img src = "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35857179/161897419-aa00f5eb-3553-46ce-80a1-6c8565366c27.png" width = "50%" / >
We can apply the same steps to create the lookup column `TeamCode` in table `Project` . This time we choose the lookup column created previously in table `Employee` as a child table.

Click save. Then `TeamCode` is populated in table `Project` .
