Body: <p>I've setup a Matrix field with an entries field and output the value like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% set entry = block.blockLink.first() %}

  <p>This outputs the value of the entries field OK. However any other Matrix field that follows on from this one fails to display at all. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received!</p>

Title: Matrix entries field prevents following Matrix field to display
ThreadText: # Matrix entries field prevents following Matrix field to display
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-03)
  
  I've setup a Matrix field with an entries field and output the value like this:
  
  ```
  {% set entry = block.blockLink.first() %}
   {% if entry %}
    <p class="ctaLink"><a href="{{ entry.url }}">Find out more</a></p>
   {% endif %}    
  
  ```
  
  This outputs the value of the entries field OK. However any other Matrix field that follows on from this one fails to display at all. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received!
