Hi

I’m trying to create a Airtable record and this table has a Linked record that I need to update when I create it.  
But I’m not sure how to manage this in weweb, anyone done this before

I’m getting error

**error: “ROW\_DOES\_NOT\_EXIST”**  
**message: “Record ID recYQARb3k8kilhn8 does not exist”**  
**statusCode: 422**

Hi @SNeJ 👋

Just made [this video](https://tella.video/airtable-linked-field-3h9k) that might help.

If you don’t have time to watch it, I would say:

- make sure you are sending an array to Airtable, and
- make sure the record id is being sent as a string

In the screenshot below, you can see we are sending an array of strings to the `Type (link)` column in Airtable.

Does that help?

Hi @Joyce

Thanks for the detailed explanation. And yes ToText option worked.  
also just to mention that for some other table it works without toText
