Hi all
I hope I can explain my question clearly enough.
I have three tables - Job List, Candidate List, Applications
From Job List, I want to select a job and create a new Application record which will inherit the selected job title into the job title field on the Application record. This would also be a parent-child relationship.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible to do?
Hi @DLM - Yes this is possible.
In the Applications table create a lookup field from the Job List and select the job title.

Hi Zack, thank you very much for your response! I do know I can do it that way but it adds extra steps that I was hoping to avoid so my question is if data 'inheritance' from a selected record in a linked table is possible in Airtable, either from the data table or interface? I used to develop applications in Lotus Notes which had this inheritance functionality built in.

Red comments are the steps to create the application record.
Black arrow is item that is 'inherited' from job record to application record.

I ended up using automation to imitate the 'inherit' functionality.
