YES! Yes, yes, yes! They are finally here!!!
Airtable is a relational database. As such, it allows you to link records from one table to record(s) from a different table and keep such relationship on both sides.
However, there are interesting use cases in which you’d want to link records from one table to records from the exact same table. For example, you might want to have one unique table for Tasks and handle hierarchy between them (e.g. Parent task, and Sub Task(s)).
When creating a linked record field to its own table, you would have seen that only one field was created (the one you did manually). You would call this field Child Tasks for example, and link through it the child tasks to any parent task. However, the inverse relationship (backlink) would not be tracked anyway -meaning which are the parent tasks for each child tasks. To such effect we used to have to create yet an additional linked record field to the same Tasks table, and create all sort of nasty automations and scripts to create and update back links.
For years now this has been a big topic of discussion (see below only very few of the related topics!).

A couple of days ago, Airtable finally released native backlinks silently!!!!! If you now create a linked record field to its own table, you will automatically get TWO fields which will keep the relationship fully synced as shown on the video above.
Just wanted to share this with you :D
