HI I am new to Bubble. Trying to learn. I have 2 databases as follows:- ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/4/0/40a00bc0619287ff63afb849168d2a5dd2789946.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/d/4/d41cf7ca3b232768aee6a7f8243307cc910d7f9b.png) On the app I have a button which is Add to Cart. So once a user clicks the button I want data from Product\_desc and Product\_image fields in Product database to be added to Order\_Product\_Desc and Order\_Product\_image fields in Order\_Detail database. I have also created the following workflow on the Add to Cart button:- ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/5/b/5bcc0ed20cdd6d56af76aaca42c1f97737776137.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/2/3/23a7e49ed2b6679b47d62d4f4fb321cfd2b100bb.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/0/c/0cd8fecb6b7d54aeac75074136e80d559917b13d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/a/2/a246c256653ce29b7d114eaeed9ac284e1254244.png) Somehow this workflow(Make changes to things) is not working. Kindly advise great bubblers. Thanks Vijay Zutshi ---

Just to clarify, these are separate data types/tables with in the same app? It would usually make sense to store the Product ID to the transaction, that way it can be referenced from the data base. ---

> [@nfisher](#): > > store the Product ID to the transaction So what do you mean by store the Product ID to the transaction. That means I should create a unique identifier of the selected item in the Product database. But the question still remains the same how do I read that info from Product database and add that to the order database. Thanks Vijay Zutshi ---

Just use a single field to store the Product. ---
