Why would a newly created relation column not appear as an action row option for increment number? ---

Probably because the relations is multiple. Try switching it to single or create a duplicate single relation. By single I mean uncheck ‘match multiple’ ---

Thanks Eric. I had the same thought. Tried it with no success. Incidentally, can one not use match multiple with increment number? ---

Just to be clear, are you trying to perform an increment action on a specific column THROUGH the relation, or are you thinking that you can actually increment the relation column itself? Just wanted to make sure it’s clear, that a relation returns a row or rows. Not a column or column. If you are tried to increment a specific column through the relation, then yes, it has to be a single relation, because you can’t increment an array of multiple values. Sometimes, however, it seems like a relation can get stuck between a single and multiple relation, so it helps to just delete the relation column and recreate it if that happens. ---

What Eric said is actually correct. Match multiple was the issue. But something did indeed get stuck here which is why I got confused and came to the forms. You may delete the thread if you will. Thanks guys. ---
