+## Mapping entity relations
+
+When creating or updating entities, you often need to establish relations with other entities. The mapping approach depends on whether you're dealing with single or multiple entity inputs.
+
+
+<Tabs groupId="relation-mapping" defaultValue="single" values={[
+{label: "Single Entity", value: "single"},
+{label: "Array Entity", value: "array"},
+{label: "Flexible Mapping", value: "flexible"}
+]}>
+
+<TabItem value="single">
+
+For a single entity relation, map the entity identifier directly:
+
+```json
+{
+  "identifier": "myServiceEntity",
+  "title": "My Service",
+  "properties": {},
+  "relations": {
+    "domain": "{{ .inputs.domain }}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="array">
+
+When your action accepts [array entity inputs](/docs/actions-and-automations/create-self-service-experiences/setup-ui-for-action/user-inputs/entity.md#array), you need to extract the identifiers from the array using the `map(.identifier)` pattern:
+
+```json
+{
+  "identifier": "myUserEntity", 
+  "title": "My User",
+  "properties": {},
+  "relations": {
+    "skills": "{{ .inputs.skills | map(.identifier) }}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+:::info Array entity inputs
+When users select multiple entities from an [entity array input](/docs/actions-and-automations/create-self-service-experiences/setup-ui-for-action/user-inputs/entity.md#array), the input contains an array of entity objects. Each object includes both `identifier` and `title` properties, but relations can only reference entity identifiers.
+:::
+
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="flexible">
+
+For maximum flexibility, you can create a conditional mapping that handles both single entity and array entity inputs:
+
+```json
+{
+  "identifier": "myProjectEntity",
+  "title": "My Project", 
+  "properties": {},
+  "relations": {
+    "dependencies": "{{ .inputs.dependencies | if type == \"array\" then map(.identifier) else .identifier end }}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This pattern automatically:
+- Extracts identifiers from arrays when multiple entities are selected
+- Uses the identifier directly when a single entity is selected
+
+</TabItem>
+
+</Tabs>
+
+
+## Common use cases
+
+Here are some typical scenarios for mapping array relations:
+
+**Mapping skills to a user:**
+```json
+"relations": {
+  "skills": "{{ .inputs.selectedSkills | map(.identifier) }}"
+}
+```
+
+**Mapping team members to a project:**
+```json  
+"relations": {
+  "members": "{{ .inputs.teamMembers | map(.identifier) }}"
+}
+```
+
+**Mapping dependencies between services:**
+```json
+"relations": {
+  "dependsOn": "{{ .inputs.dependencies | map(.identifier) }}"
+}
+```
+
+
+:::info Entity titles in relations
+Relations can only reference entity **identifiers**, not titles. Even though entity objects contain both `identifier` and `title` properties, you must always use `.identifier` when mapping to relations.
