Title: Is it possible for an assigned entry (via field type Entries field) to know what it has been assigned to?
ThreadText: # Is it possible for an assigned entry (via field type Entries field) to know what it has been assigned to?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-03-17)
  
  I have two entry types **'pipeline'** (structure) and **'series'** (channel). I know I can add children in a structure, but I want to keep 'pipeline' and 'series' separate to avoid duplication, as a series can belong to multiple pipelines.
  
  I assign a series to a pipeline with a field type Entries field.
  
  As an example I assign 'series1' to 'pipeline1' and 'pipeline2'.
  
  What I'd like to know:
  
  a) Is it possible for 'series1' to know it is assigned to 'pipeline1' and 'pipeline2'?
  
  b) If it's not possible, is there a way to update the series entry when assigning to a pipeline?
  
  Thanks for any help!

  You could use the `relatedTo` param ([docs](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/dev/element-queries/entry-queries.html#relatedto)).
  
  ```
  {% set relatedPipelines = craft.entries()
      .section('pipeline')
      .relatedTo(yourSeriesEntry)
      .all() %}
  
  ```
  
  Would return pipelines (if any) related to your *series1*.
