No field-type "Link to another record"

Self-Host

Hello,

I added another table to offer some choosable values to an existing table. So I added a column in the existing table, but there is no type “link to another record” but just a “links”. It is not possible to choose the column in the referenced table.
In the new column i can choose values from the referenced table, but then I don’t see the value, i only see a counter “1 Method [thats the name of the referenced table]” or “No records linked”.
I have no rights to edit via API.

Any idea, why i can’t choose “Link to another record”? Or how to fix it?

“Link To Another Record” is available under experimental features. From user menu in left bottom, open Experimental features & toggle-on “Link To Another Record”

@dstala is there a way to convert existing link fields to “Link to another record”?

I imagine I can do this through the API, but I can’t seem to find LinkToAnotherRecord ops documented on NocoDB API Documentation. Or is it the same workflow as for Link fields?

And would it be unadvisable, given that it’s an experimental feature?
