+## `source`
+
+By default, `ReferenceManyField` uses the `id` field as target for the reference. If the foreign key points to another field of your record, you can select it with the `source` prop.
+
+```jsx
+<ReferenceManyField
+  target="post_id"
+  reference="comments"
+  source="_id"
+>
+   ...
+</ReferenceManyField>
+```

 ## `target`
 
 Name of the field carrying the relationship on the referenced resource. For instance, if an `author` has many `books`, and each book resource exposes an `author_id` field, the `target` would be `author_id`.
