What is the proposed idea/solution?

Allow users to add a new record on another table through a linked field, when inside a form.

How does is solve the user problems?

Currently, in a form a user can select a record from a linked field, but they cannot create a new record through that linked field. This would be very helpful for instances when a new record needs to be added and you want to give that ability to the user.

How was this validated?

Not sure what "How was this validated" means... I found the issue because I wanted to create a new record from inside of a form, but I didn't have the ability to.

Who is the target audience?

Form submitters

I best solution I've seen is to create a separate form that's connected to the table you're trying to link to. Then put that form's URL in the description of the linked field on the initial form.

Yes!!! This is something I definitely need as my master form draws on information from many different forms.
