This will lead you to a pop-up where you will be able to name your reference and select which type of reference you want it to be.

You can choose between **Metaobject reference** which would be selecting one Metaobject and **Mixed reference** which means that you want to select more than one Metaobject.&#x20;

When you select a type, you should be able to click on “Metaobject definitions” and select the one you want to be applied. When you are happy with your settings, go on and save.
