Create the rendering variant reference item

1. In the Content Editor, navigate to Presentation/Rendering Variants, right-click Page Content, and click Insert, Variant Definition.

2. Enter Post Author and click Ok.

3. Next, let's create a rendering variant reference item that goes to the author field of the blog post, and renders the content of that field.

Right-click the Post Author variant, click Insert, click Reference, enter Authors, and click Ok. The Pass-through field defines the name of the field from the nested item. The rendering variant now passes through the author's field.

Render the fields from linked item

ØFirst, create a wrapper by adding a section. Right-click Post Author, click Section, enter HeadingWrapper, and click OK.

ØTo defines the fields that the rendering variant displays, you can now add child items.

ØThis is our Author Template, so we have to create the field for this
