Hi, Table 1 has items linked to table 2. I want to add new records to table 2 and be visible to the row owner in table 1, but given when we add records, there is no way to define the row owner save for entering the email again manually (not elegant at all), is there a way to solve this?

Given the new record in table 2 is “linked” to a record in table 1 and this is an Airtable DB link, I cannot just write the linking email into table 2. Some more context below: See the schema I am using. I have a company table - called table 1 and an owner and other shareholders table called tabl…

Let me ask this first. How important is the use of Row Owners in this case? Are you attempting to use it as a replacement for filters and relations, or are you using it to secure the data so users can’t snoop the data and see other people’s companies and shareholders? I assume that an owner can s…

Just did some more research in the forum, seems like Airtable’s native linking properties are not supported yet.

Ok, so row owners is definitely a necessity. Ultimately you are going to have to create the relation and a linked array of emails on the airtable side. I don’t know how that works, so I can’t give much advice there. Ultimately I think when an owner adds a shareholder, then the company ID should b…

Unfortunately you’re right. [image] Introducing the Airtable Integration I’m upset about not including Airtable linked fields management and multi attachment rendering & edition. I think this is a mistake as probably Airtable actual users won’t find Glide is offering a true solution to adopt it…

Actually, it works by bringing in an Airtable array of users (Airtable supports CSV as arrays) - and making that column as row owners. What doesn’t still work is assigning a linked record to the new record that has been added. I think that functionality is still under works (hopefully). e.g. if I a…

(((Prefacing this with: "I’m new here, and only signed up last week and LOVE it. I just realized you only recently (March 22) released your Airtable integration). Wow, kudos and great work. Looking forward to it becoming all it can be)))) Linked records are definitely one of Airtable’s most powerfu…

@david answered to this question at April community event and assured that Glide will “absolutely” support this feature and recognized the hidden power of Airtable linked fields. When? Only god knows. I think launching Airtable integration support without this linked fields and multi attachment ed…

Thank you for the info, @darder . Yes, I was getting very frustrated and thought I was making an error in my setup—never did I imagine it was because linked fields aren’t yet supported. I agree it’s a strategic failure from glide — especially when competitors like Softr and Stacker supported this fea…
