Hi everyone.
Is it possible to create lookup columns where the selectable data is retrieved from external services?
For example: I’ve created a region column where the selectable regions are retrieved by a government service that gives a list of all the regions of a country (e.g. Italy).

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello @gianlucalostuzzo, first of all, welcome to Baserow :wave:

The feature you’re describing is not available in Baserow. If the service you are using to get a list of regions has an open API, you can use some external services, like Zapier or n8n, to connect Baserow and that service. That will allow you to send data from one platform to another. Would that be a solution for your case?
