Paste Multiple RecordIDs into Linked Field

I have an automation that is running into issues all a sudden.

I have a linked field that needs to accept two record IDs into the linked field.

I have tried adding the 2nd one if the first is already there, which then deletes the first.

I have also tried removing the 1st one and pasting two, but it says it doesn’t accept the result because it has a comma in the automation and also doesn’t accept without a comma.

A comma is the way to do it. Please post a screenshot of what’s not working.

Solved it.

It happened to be another issue, but found a way to make it work!

That probably isn’t working because those are lookup fields, which are arrays.

Create a formula field for each lookup field that looks like this:

{Lookup field} & ""

That will convert the array to a string.

Then use those formula fields in your automation.
