Is there a way when linking Record A to Record B that Record B can automatically be linked back to Record A?

Adding another vote here - this seems like a massive oversight that it is not already a feature! I need parent-child relationships to work and be accessible from either direction

Also +1 vote for this feature.

I have a list of companies and some of them are parent to other companies (while these other ones - are the child companies).

Whenever I mark company A as parent to company B - I need to have a cell next to company B which indicates that itโ€™s a under a parent company A.

Iโ€™m trying to use this for dependencies on a game design floor plan. If I add a link to another room as an option for a direction for someone to go to, I have to go to that record and add the link to the previous record manually. I should be able to link to one and have the dependency exist.

+1 I am trying to use this like Jira which has tasks and sub-tasks within the product backlog table

+1 I need this for a User Story hierarchy. When a User Story turns out to be too big to do in one sprint, we change it to an epic create a bunch of User Stories under it to do a phased implementation. Each of these stories has the Epic in a Parent field. I want another field that shows all the Children of the Epic. And no running of scripts. It should work exactly the same as when I link records between table.

I could easily see a tick box or on/off switch on the LInk to โ€ฆ dialog when creating a link to the same table. The switch would ask โ€œCreate reverse linking field?โ€ and if you say โ€œYesโ€, it lets you provide a name for . Much like the automatic lookup is offered after linking to field in a different table. So easy to do! Why is this taking so long.

In Table A I have 2 columns :

  • LinkToA
  • ReverseA

There is no way for ReverseA to see A that Link to me.

Adding my +1 to this feature, it would be immensely helpful. Iโ€™m feeling a little stuck now that I just learned that there is NOT bi-directional linking within the same tableโ€ฆ it has made my information more clunky :frowning:
