+1Hello everyone,
I’m a beginner in Airtable.
I created liked to another records in my database but it doesn’t goes out automatically. A helper said that I have to enter the link manually by clicking in the box and selecting the correct link to establish. He corrected the field books to show me an exemple.
But I don’t see what’s wrong. Here is the link to my database :
+28Hey
It is correct that linked record fields in Airtable will never auto fill themselves unless you set up an automation to such effect or use Airtable’s deep match feature. By default, Airtable expects you to manually pick the linked record, exactly like your helper described. I took a quick look at the base from my cellphone, and I don’t see anything “wrong” with your field.
If you are looking to have a récord linked automatically you might want to check out the following: https://automaticnation.com/airtable-deep-match-ai-powered-automatic-record-linking/
Otherwise, please share some more context on what is it that you are looking for! I might be missing smth.
Happy to help :D

You mentioned you wanted to do it automatically though. How would you like to do the data entry instead?
