I have a database of people and one of the columns contains links to other records in that "People" database and is meant to showcase which other people this record has a relationship with. I was wondering if there is a way to update two records simultaneusly, so that when I add Person B as a relation to Person A, that relationship is reflected in both records.
As far as I am aware, the only way to create a two-way link within the same table is to use automations.
1. Create a new automation 2. Set the trigger to "When a record is updated" 3. Set the table to the table with people in it. 4. Set it to watch only the Relationship field updates. 5. Add an "Update Record" Action" 6. Set the table to the same table as before 7. Set the Record ID to the relationship field 8. Click on the Relationship tag that was added to the Record ID field so that the drop down appears. 9. Click Edit Token. 10. Change the "Choose Data" to ID instead of Name 11. Under the Fields section, add the Relationship Field. 12. Set the Value to "Airtable Record ID"
Turn on the automation and viola!
Here is a link to an example Base where the automation has been set up for you. Example Base
Hi! Thanks for the suggestions. Is there anyway for this to work for multiple Record IDs? Often there are multiple records in that "Relationship" filed but the Automation creator doesn't seem to accept that the output of the field of the updated record is a list of record IDs rathar than just the one.,
