Automatically backlink your linked records that are in the same table
There are times you want to backlink Airtable records to each other that are in the same table. Airtable supports backlinks for Linked Records between 2 different tables, but does not support backlinks for Linked Records that are in the same table. This fixes that by auto-populating the backlink fields.
Example:
You have 1 table that contains all Employees. You want to add a Manager name to the Direct Report Employee record and also show (backlink) the Direct Report Employee record on the Manager's record. This function automatically creates the backlink.
While backlinks are supported between separate tables, it's not possible to backlink inside the same table using native Airtable features.
