Hello, hope you don’t mind the newbie question.
How do you set a variable that I can call across
I have a base where I’m organising people into coaching groups.
Each coaching group has a unique name (Pacha, Twilo, Space etc). Each coaching group also has its own URL.
What I want to do
I guess that I need to create a table within my base to store these “variables” but I’m stuck on how to call them into the main table. I suspect it has something to do with linked fields and lookups, but whenever I read the documentation I get stuck.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks!

It sounds like you need a table for [Groups]
, where each row is a group. There would be a column to store the groups’ unique url.
Then when you assign your other records to groups, you’d use a Link to Another Record
-type field. Then you’d use a Lookup
-type field to pull in the linked Group
's {URL}
field.
