When adding linked records to a column you can only select one at a time. This means you have to click “Link to a record” and re-enter the search term each time. Would love to be able to hold down “Ctrl” or “Cmd” and select multiple linked records at once. It would be a big time saver.

+1 from me, this is must-have option,
Hope we can input multiple items, divined by “;” or sth like that

The fastest way to select many related records that I have found is to:

  1. first highlight the cell you want to add records to
  2. start typing to search for a record
  3. once it is found just hit enter to select it
  4. search for next record and repeat

It’s much faster than clicking and searching. Hope it helps someone.

Let’s refresh this request, the possibility to link various records in one solo operation. With Ctrl as suggested by @David_Von_Lehman back in 2017… Or… with a sub-checkbox integrated into the records. Search within primary field only is really not enough as suggested by @Kai_Muscher.

Thank you!
