Hello!
Short version - I am using the “link to table” field and am wondering if it there is any automated way to see which other records are linked to a particular record (without filling them all in manually).
A little more detail - I am using Baserow as a research tool for a historical legal database. Thanks to the “link to same table” feature (I was so glad to see this added recently!) I have been able to better link “law B” to its precedent “law A.” However, I am not sure if there is a way to show on “law A” what other later laws use it as a precedent. I have tried to use “lookup” but did not get anything working.
[ETA - just to clarify, these records are all within the same table]
I am very new to all of this so apologies in advance for any confusing language or if there is an answer in the forums / knowledge base already (I had searched but as I am still new to all this, I don’t always know exactly what terms I should even look for).
Thank you!
Hello @archaeoceti! First of all, welcome to the Baserow community 
In Baserow, when linking records that are stored in different tables, it will auto-create a field on the other table showing backlinked records. However, when creating links within the same table, it does not generate a “backlinked” field. Is it the functionality you’re referring to? Just want to make sure I understood your use case correctly 
Hi there - apologies for the late reply! Yes it was, thank you anyway!
Hello @tombaumrt, what feature are you referring to? 
The feature described in the first post corresponds, it seems to me, to what I want to do.
I have a list of suppliers working together (same table).
I would like to create a column that displays the “clients of”, but I can’t create this field.
Hello @tombaumrt, the table you’re trying to reference in the Lookup field — was it previously connected to this table via a Link-to-table field?
The “FOURNISSEUR DE” field points to the same table via link-to-table.
And you don’t see this field here in the list, correct:
Can you share what you see when you click on the dropdown in the lookup field?
That’s it, but I don’t know if it’s a good solution to bring up the list of companies that are “CUSTOMER OF”
Hey @tombaumrt, this is working as expected. You select the ‘FOURNISSEUR DE’ table and then choose the field you want to display. That’s how the lookup field works: Lookup field in Baserow
