I am trying to create a field which links a table to itself:

//Now that the table has been created add the linked field

var newFamily = base.getTable( familyName );

var linkOptions = {

linkedTableId: newFamily.id,

prefersSingleRecordLink: true,

isReversed: false,

};

await newFamily.createFieldAsync( ‘SpouseLink’, ‘multipleRecordLinks’, linkOptions );


I am getting an error:

j: Can’t create field: invalid field config.

Failed schema validation: prefersSingleRecordLink is not included in the .options schema, isReversed is not included in the .options schema


I am confused because I have include those fields in the schema …

Welcome to the Airtable community!


Sometimes the error messages and/or documentation are not up to date. Try taking out both isReversed and prefersSingleRecordLink from the options. The scripting documentation currently says to not include them when creating a field.


    // Note: prefersSingleRecordLink cannot be specified via programmatic field creation

    // and will be false for fields created within an app

}

That worked. Serves me right for looking and beleiving the error message which clearly states it is needed!


Sheesh
