Hello,
I'm trying to run a script from BaseA to create a new record in BaseB. The new record in BaseB has a linked field, I followed this convention to reference it: Field_Name: [{id: record_id}]. I get INVALID_RECORD_ID error, though I've double-checked it and the record id is correct. What am I doing wrong?

 

let createRecordInBaseB = await fetch(
  `https://api.airtable.com/v0/${targetBaseId}/${targetTableId}`,
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${baseARecord.pat}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      fields: {
        "👀 Projects": [{id: projectRecordId}],
      },
    }),
  }
);

When using the web API, the cell value for a linked record field is an array of record IDs, not an array of objects.
