Can you show what the data table looks like in Glide instead of what it looks like in Airtable. Looks like you are using a special Airtable type of column. Is it a Linked Record? If so, is one capable of single and one capable of multiple linked records? Normally you would just have a basic text column to hold the email. Then it would be pretty straightforward to fill and set up with row owners, filters, or relations to only show the rows that pertain to the signed in user. Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of how Airtable works with Glide. Personally some things just seem weird as Airtable users are doing things that aren’t the typical way of doing it with any other data source in Glide. Airtable Linked Records are similar but fundamentally different compared to how Glide Relations work. Glide relations are simply links between rows, which is similar to Linked Records, but somehow Linked Records can also hold actual values. This fundamental differences confuses me. Because of that, it’s hard for me to give accurate advice, so I’m only guessing at this point. ---

I got it all sorted. Instead of trying to populate relational fields, I added 2 text columns for a user email and connection email. I write to both of them when adding the note (email from page and user profile email) and then set up filter conditions to only show notes on the connection’s page when both emails matched. 😊 ---
