Hi there, I am trying to create in a separate function all the slices available on my site to retrieve them when needed. So far so good, but when trying to get the fields of the linked document fields, I get a [[PromiseResult]] and can't get the data. I am learning Prismic for a couple days only and so I am probably doing something wrong here, but since I can log the values correctly, I don't get what is wrong. I can console.log them but can't access them. Here is the part of the function I am talking about : * * * const getSlices = page =\> { return page.data.body.map(slice =\> { switch(slice.slice\_type) { case 'concept\_clef': return { conceptClef: { titre: slice.primary.titre\_section, intro: slice.primary.intro\_section } } case 'list\_of\_articles': return { listArticles: { titre: slice.primary.titre\_section, intro: slice.primary.intro\_section, articles: slice.items.map(async item =\> { return await Client.getByID(item.articles\_to\_link.id) }) } } }) } Thanks for your help ! ---

Hello Stephanie, Thanks for posting this question to us. You need to use fetchLinks in your code. fetchLinks fetches a specific content field from a linked document. Find more detail [here](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/fetch-linked-document-fields-javascript). This is in javascript but you can find documentation in the different frameworks as well. You need to use fetchLinks in your code. In your `fetchLinks` array, the value should be: - First, the API ID of the custom type referenced in your content relationship field. - Then, the API ID of the field that you want to retrieve. Let me know if it doesn't work for you, we can work together to solve this. Thanks, Priyanka ---

Hi and thanks Priyanka for your kind return ! I already went on the link you shared with me, but the fields I am accessing are in a slice zone and the page you shared mentions that "It is not possible to retrieve the following content field types: Any field in a Group or Slice". So I found the workaround below in order to access the data anyway to use them in my template and it works great but I wonder if it is ok for Prismic though. articles: slice.items.map(item =\> { let results = Client.getByID(item.articles\_to\_link.id).then(res =\> results.push(res)) return results }) Thanks ! ---

@Priyanka, I might have not been precise in my answer but if there is a way to retrieve content field types in a slice group, it would be fantastic if you could share the way to get all this working. To be more precise on what I am trying to get : I am linking 4 articles on the homepage and the api only retrieve the id of the article, where I would need the title, excerpt, image... Thanks ! ---

To retrieve linked documents from Slices, you need to use graphQuery. It's an advanced version of fetchLinks. Please follow this doc: [API reference for GraphQuery (fetchLinks v2) - Prismic](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/graphquery-rest-api) Let me know if you have any doubt. Thanks, Priyanka ---

That made the trick 🙂 Thanks Priyankaa for your help ! ---

There is no way to retrieve linked documents from slices using `fetchlinks` without the graphQuery ? THis is mandatory ? ---

Hello Andreas, fetchLinks can _not_ retrieve the following fields: - Embed - GeoPoint - Link - Link to Media - Rich Text (anything other than the first element) - Any field in a Group or Slice So you need to use graphQuery to fetch content from Slices. Are you getting any trouble in using graphQuery? I'll be happy to assist you. Thanks, Priyanka ---

@Priyanka I'm struggling to resolve some data with either fetchLinks or graphQuery. I have a content type `landingPage` which has the key text field `slug`. In that content type I use a slice called `TextBlock`. This slice has a rich text field. In that field I've added a link to a different `landingPage` document. I'm unable to resolve the slug field for the linked landingPage inside the slice's rich text field. Could you explain how it could be done? ---

@Priyanka Sorry, I was just stupid. I used `getFirst` and put the fetchLink and lang in a second parameter, that doesn't exist. it's working fine!
