Export a table from airtable, modify it and import it in airtable with the links between table.

[Elyes-80]

Hello everyone,

I hope that you can help me with my problem.

I tried to export a table in CSV, modify a column and then import it back to the same table with the updated column.

However, all the columns that were hosting a link with another table are gone and I need to put them back one by one.

Is it possible to import an excel or CSV file in Airtable that was originally from Airtable and has been slightly modified while keeping the links with other tables once imported?

Thanks in advance!

From what I understand the CSV Import Extension allows for record updates, which seems like it might solve your problem?

It might solve your problem in an easy way.
