Write to a relation with Choice component

Did you know you can write to a relation column in a Choice component?

Well, kinda, but yea!

Here’s how it works: When you set a relation column as the “write to” option in a Choice component, the “source” option will disappear. This means the choices displayed will be the elements from the related table. When you select one, it will write to the column that was used to establish the relation match.

This might seem like a small feature, but it can open up a world of possibilities for Gliders. While I don’t have specific use cases in mind, I’d love to hear your ideas! Feel free to reply with how you plan to utilize this feature.

Yep!!! This feature was added when Glide adopted Airtable as a source since that’s how AT works (writing values via relations).
