This is currently showing up in my airtable program (mac) but doesn’t appear to be working. I have a filter set on a view to show only “current”, but when I limit my selection to that view in the lookup field it’s showing everything regardless. So…is this supposed to be working right now or is it yet to be functional? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding its purpose?

Its worked for me as expected when I first tried it this morning.

Where I created a new view with the filter(most recent date for each of a given subtype of record) I want in table ‘A’, I reconfigure the linked record field in table ‘B’ to look at that view only, and presto.

And holy hell, it actually propagates/works in the iOS app as well (so happy :star_struck: ) - I was not expecting that to work as we still don’t have the ability to edit formulas in an app or for a field default value to show up on newly created records in the app :grinning_face_with_sweat:
