I have _Tools_ table. Every tool have _ToolTypeId_ (which is in code list table (eg. _ToolTypes_) with different tool types). I created _ToolTypeId_ colimn in _Tools_ table which is linked record to ID from _ToolTypes_ table with many to one link type.

When I create new record in _Tools_ table I also want to fill _ToolTypeId_ column. I have ID from _ToolTypes_ stored in variable.

Apart from every other column I can not set value of _ToolTypeId_ in table record of _Tools_ table. I know how to save record in table. I’m only stuck at saving linked record column with variable from _ToolTypes_ table.

Please if someone can help me with this situation.

hello @ermingut, great question!!

are you familiar with the `Table Records` \> `Link Record` Trigger Action?? this will allow you to create a Link between the Tools and ToolType Tables:
