Linked Records
Zapier Tables. Linked records let a field reference records from another table or the same one, which was one of Tables’ most-requested features.

How I worked on it
I was asked to own the frontend. I helped decide how we’d work and pulled people in when they wanted to help. I came in with ideas for the design, so we had something to start from, and we kept the scope small. While planning the rollout I raised timing risks early enough that the team could do something about them.
On the frontend, I wrote some of the code and worked with others on the rest.
Key views
- Field setup — Choose the table to link to, the field to display and search by, and whether a cell can hold more than one record.
- Single record picker — The picker opens right in the cell, here looking up records in a table of 10,000.
- Multiple records — Linked records appear as chips you can clear one at a time.
- Search — Searching narrows the list as you type.
