Hey everyone! I am trying to learn best practices for how to link tables. My goal is to create a Data structure that will allow me to filter the records in a table based on features that are linked to that record in the same table. I created separate tables for each feature that are linked to the table that I’m trying to filter.

Questions

• 
  

  This creates an array of values as a result in each table that is linked even thought the table for the feature itself is a list, not an array. Is this going to cause problems down the road?

  when I create linked features in the tables, it automatically creates another column that references this link. Why does Airtable do this? Should I delete this extra column?
  
  

  
  

Thank you!
