This FAQ covers 3 common question types about WPS Bidirectional Linked Field on macOS, including field usage, record visibility, and related-field workflows.
FAQ
Does a bidirectional linked field use two field columns?
- Yes.
- After you create a bidirectional link, one related field is created in the current table and another is created in the target table.
- If you only need one-way reference behavior, use a one-way link instead to reduce field usage.
Why can’t I see the records I want to link?
- Check the Linked record range setting first.
- If Specific Records is selected, confirm that the conditions or selected view include the target records.
- If needed, switch to All Records and check again whether the missing options appear.
Can Bidirectional Linked Field work with other fields?
- Yes.
- It can work with lookup reference fields to bring in information from the related table.
- It can also work with summary fields for later aggregation and analysis.
