Hello,
I’m stuck in building my application to link the databases together. I would like to automatically link the databases together by means of a property that shares the same records. However, I can’t do it. Indeed, I have to link the databases together by intervening line by line. Could you tell me how to link the data automatically or in a group way (and not line by line)?
I thank you in advance for the help you can give me.
Hey @Caroline422, this is how relationships work, when you want two collections to be linked, you need to add a “Relationship” property to one of the collections in the database. This connects the two collections together.
Then on the screen where a record gets created, you add an action or automatic field (if you’re using a form) to link collections together. This links the two records together at the moment the form is submitted, automatically.
After doing this setup, every new record created through that form will be linked automatically.
Two articles that might help:

If you share which two collections you are trying to link and what triggers the connection, I can give you the exact steps.
