How do i use AutoMapper to map a PointerItem to an Organization?

My pointer is referencing an Organization, but i need to retrieve some data from that particular Organization.

This is what i’ve got so far.

`.ForMember(x => x.Organization, m => m.MapFrom(organization => organization.GetValue<PointerItem>(BlockFieldNameConstants.OrganizationPointer).EntitySystemId.MapTo<Organization>()));`

Should i create a resolver for this case?

You could create a resolver that fetches the information for the organization that you really want or you could do it in a builder.

In the latest Accelerator there’s an `ImageModelResolver` you could use as a basis.
