You have to tell Kirby what `home` is… ```auto fetch: site.find("home").categories.toStructure ``` ---

same result: the selectbox shows: “{{ structureItem.text }}” it is a child page from home: page.parent.categories.toStructure does not work ,too. ---

So in which page exactly is the field? You have to pass the path to the right page. If it is not in the home page, then the above will not work, of course. And what are the fields in the structure field called? ---

the fields are: ``` key: label: kex type: text text: label: text type: text ``` the page is in home/about i want to get data from the home field in the home/about page. ---

sorry… the structure field i want to get the data from is in home. and in home/about i want to select the data from the structure field of the home page. so: site.find(“home”). should be correct but gives the result above. ---

Then please post the blueprint of the home page. It doesn’t matter where you want to fetch the data but where you want to fetch it from. ---

this is the structure field in the home blueprint. ```auto categories: label: Kategorien type: structure style: table required: true fields: key: label: kex type: text text: label: text type: text sequence: label: Reihenfolge type: number ``` ---

The what I originally posted above should work. But maybe your indentation for the select field is wrong. It should look like this, i.e. with `options` and `query` on the same level in the indentation hierarchy. ```auto fieldname: label: Select field type: select options: query query: fetch: site.find('home').categories.toStructure text: “{{ structureItem.text }}” value: “{{ structureItem.key }}” ``` In the future, could you please wrap blocks of code within 3 backticks on a new line before and after the code block. ---
