Question 6

Where is my "relation" field/column?

Accepted Answer

There are two things required for the relation property to be used in your form:

In order for them to work you need to ensure that the related table is also shared with our integration. Notion only shares with us the existence of a relation only if we have access to both tables. Click here to Share a Notion DB on the right side of the page.

You should also make sure that the relation exists on both tables ("Show on 'Related table' "). The column can be hidden from the related table but it must exist.
