Selects and Nested Relationships

Someone asked this in the fall and I didnt see an answer to it, so going to pretty much use his example as it fits my situation perfectly. "is it possible to show nested relationship data in a select field? Meaning instead of ->relationship('author', 'name') something like ->relationship('author.publisher', 'name') where I'm trying to show the name of the publisher associated with the author?"

Couldn’t you just wrap it in a Group with the author relationship?

@gizmojo i have no idea what you are talking about. What does a group have to do with a single Select with 3 tier relationship info? ah, i figured it out. very interesting workaround.

Hi, I also have a problem with this. I want to filter using a third level relational table. I don't know how to build Select in the filter. I don't understand how the quoted piece of documentation for reading data into Select? Can you write something more?

What do you have so far? Nesting select inside a group using relationships is done by

Group::make()
    ->relationship('metadata')
    ->schema([
        Select::make()

Group::make()
    ->relationship('metadata')
    ->schema([
        Select::make()
