> 🙋‍♂️ **Nils** _asked_

## TL;DR: Is it possible to add row where a column is a `LinkToAnotherRecord` (many to many) via the REST API? I’m not seeing this in the API docs.

#### 

#### Context: I want to store my emails in NocoDB. Therefor I have a “Emails” table and a “EmailAddress” table. In the Emails table I have a column called “Receiver”. Because it’s possible that you sent an email to multiple people, the Receiver column needs to able to store 1 or more emails. Therefore, I think to use the `LinkToAnotherRecord` property would be a good choice.
