Add new linked records with all their details while you're filling the form

This feature in miniExtensions form for Airtable allows you to create linked records and fill in all the fields that you would like for it. All without leaving the form page.

This features works by integrating multiple forms/tables together. Which allows the created line items to have one-to-many (parent/child) relationships with the main table. All that happens automatically behind the scenes.

💡Update

The form now supports previewing linked records details with thumbnails too!

I‘m having some issues getting forms set up to fill line items when using as an order entry form. The issue is that our invoice number column is an auto numbered field. Can we have that prefill so the line order items link to that order?
