Hey everyone, how can I link/connect a custom record to a item record?

Add a field to your custom record Type = List/Record List = Item OR add a new Item field Type = List/Record List = [your custom record]

Is there a way to do create the link automatically? or would the user have to manually select one or the other everytime

You could use a workflow to set it everytime automatically but the logic would have to be pretty consistent

hmm good idea, I'll test that out thank you!

The "record is parent" checkbox on the custom record field where the Item is set will automatically add a sublist on the item record showing custom record entries
