Tips While Using

  1. Right-click the field title.
  2. Select Field Settings.
  3. Find Linked record range in the settings panel.
  4. Select All Records.

  • Interface result: The field now follows the All Records rule.
  • What you can do next: When adding or editing records, you can choose from all records in the target table.

Tips While Using

Entry: Right-click field title → Field Settings → Linked record range → Specific Records

  1. Right-click the field title.
  2. Select Field Settings.
