Airtable back but also [“id”] does not work. What I now also found here: [Airtable linked records can be sent throught the api?](https://forum.adalo.com/t/airtable-linked-records-can-be-sent-throught-the-api/1247)  
Will have a look into custom actions. @Ben But honestly, I think it should be possible to send an array to a linked Airtable field
