Hello, I am an intern at HorizonSport, a sports organization that offers sports camps during holidays for children and teenagers. I have not been able to make the parent IDs (which are located in the user\_id column of my users table) automatically populate in the parent\_id column of my parents table.

What does the flow look like to add a row to the Parents table? Maybe we could add the user\_id at the same time you create a new row with a user profile column

Or…  
If there is a common key in the parents table and user table then you could create a single relation from the parent table to user table and then add a lookup column via that single relation
