Linked record ID changes

Hello,

I have created a Base with a Table, the table contains a Links record and I am duplicating the Table to use on different situations although with the same fields. However the Links record’s ID changes when you duplicate a Table. This is a little cumbersome when using the API because I’d need to supply a new Links record ID (depending on the table is being used). Is there anyway to keep those IDs the same? I couldn’t find an API to request the ID of a Links record.

Secondly I want other people to be able to copy the Base, which seems to be available, nice! But would their IDs change as well or do the Table’s keep the same IDs?

For the first part, I will let @mertmit update if we have any way.
Copy base- will always generate new IDs for all the entities - base, table, field & views.

Duplicate table and base uses same underlying structure and both will generate new ids (including record ids) for now.

Thank you both for the super quick replies :slight_smile:

Alright, and is there a way to keep the Links records ID in a table (probably not) or a way to retrieve it dynamically? Little background information:

I have people enter their Table ID, XC Token to push information, but the Table also contains a Links record and to update such a Record they also need to supply the ID of the Links record. Just trying to prevent that one extra step.

Just to verify there is no API to get a field and it’s ID right?

You can use meta APIs
