Scripting - filter by "Link to another record" fie...

[Isaiah_Ngaruiya]

Hello.
I am trying to implement a search functionality using the record id is this possible given that the id isn’t in one of the fields?
As an example, I have the following records

records: [
{
id: “rec2PRjhAMAh2O64a”,
fields: {
Name: “blah blah”,
}},
{
id: “rec2otu8JF7ijlmA4”,
fields: {
Name: "klkdsd ",
},]
I want to search by the id. Is this possible?

If you are using the Standard REST API, the only way to request filtered records is with filterByFormula, which only works on existing fields. If you have creator access to the base, you could create a new formula field that displays the record id.
