It looks like your code ends at line 8. You only copied and modified the configuration portion, which is useless without the rest of the code after it.

Thanks for sharing @Paul_Warren! I understand now, although I have reservations about the fact that it runs the full table fixup on each change, but that probably isn’t actually such a big deal. I also would like to support multiple parents/children for each record.

To that end, I created a script that tries to automatically create backlinks based on the pattern that @Justin_Barrett suggested. (storing the previous version of the back/forward links and using them to calculate the diff after a change) I welcome any feedback y’all might have. : )

Hello @openside, this script is awesome!
I have a question about the Family relations graph that you are showing at 1:30 in the video:
how can I build this? I don’t find it in the apps…

Thanks for you help

I am noticing that some of the records disappear when I Run the script. And then re-appear when I run the script again. Strange bug… not sure I understand why. Anyone come across this?

Im guessing you have a filter that is showing/hiding them based on the updates.

I don’t have an Airtable filter applied to that spreadsheet.
The table is setup to allow linking of multiple records… not sure if that is causing the problem.
I could try to share a screenshot if that’s helpful.
