What is the proposed idea/solution?

Single and Multi-select linked fields in forms should have a toggle in rules to allow users to add a record.

How does is solve the user problems?

Cleanly and intuitively allowing form users to add new options which may become new trends. @ScottWorld  kindly provided some work-arounds, but it the ideal one would be built-in and mirror the UI of adding a record in grid view.

How was this validated?

Add records in a link to another record field in a form 
When adding a new record from a form how do I add a new record "on the fly"

Also my boss was frustrated that it wasn't an option out of the box and we have a project on pause now because of it.

Who is the target audience?

I think this is a feature that will be used for companies using AirTable for internal processes. In my case our employees encounter new types of customer types and customer issues and I want them to be able to cleanly and intuitively add new options which may become new trends.
