Hi,
I have two tables - one that has projects with tasks and one that has employess. Each task field from the different projects is linked to the employee table. When I want to assign an employee to a task, I link the employee record to the task in the tasks table. This works fine.
However, when I go to the employee table, I want to see a list of all the tasks assigned to each employee.
How do I make it show up automatically?
Airtable automatically created the associated linked record field for you (also known as “the backlink field”) in your employee table when you created the linked record field in your tasks table.
If you don’t see this linked record field, that means it is currently hidden.
To make it visible, click on the “hidden fields” button in your toolbar, and you will see the linked record field that links to your tasks table. You can enable it there to become visible.
Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
Hey
Just as an interesting exception to what
To achieve that you should manually create the backlink field and update it via script.
Not your case, but just thought I’d bring it up for “academic” purposes :D
