Is there a good way to cross-reference data from multiple data files in Hugo? I’m bringing in a data file from externally, so i can’t edit that, but I have my own source where I’m defining names based off id numbers. Source data file (example record): { "list":[ { "nameId"…

Here’s what I ended up using as a solution to this: {{ range $index, $element := .Site.Data.source.list }} {{ $value := index .Site.Data.supplemental.names $element.nameId }} {{ $value.name }} {{ end }} And it ended up being much simpler than I thought it might be.
