@bha @rdb rely on @ppm to push the system to its limits 
Let me give you a bit more of a background - this suggestion also affects the strategic placement of Seatable in our organisation as an NO-code database, vs. LOW-code tools we also have in place.
In short, @ppm ‘s suggestion gets my whole-hearted support. Not because it would enable Seatable to do something it can’t do at the moment (albeit with scripts or n8n), but because it enables HER to do something on her own, without my or any other person’s technical support. This seems to make even more sense when an extension like “change linked record(s)“ (it would probably affect all linked records, i guess) seems so close to something we already have in automations.
Another example in the same direction to illustrate the direction I’m going: The other day, I had to fill the gap that is left by the fact that the “add links” and “add line“ cannot be triggered by the “trigger at a specific time with condition“
Still, I kept the resulting python script extremely short and universal. Just created a time-triggered pseudo-change in a view, where @ppm then could set filters to emulate the trigger condition. BTW: That’s where I found This bug
Anyway - the main point of both examples: @ppm is limited mostly to Seatable’s GUI, and even when I script and n8n something, I make a point of putting her back in control (in the GUI) as soon as I can.
Background’s background: I just finished a 25+ page internal paper, where I justify the need for a no-code database into our organisation. One main point is the matter of ownership and responsibility:
- As a very knowledable no-code base creator, @ppm can take full ownership and responsibility of her processes in Seatable, because she understands every bit of it - but only as long as it’s done in the GUI. The same applies to other users.
- At some point, I’d even like to be able to say: “If someone can’t do something in Seatable’s GUI, they probably shouldn’t be doing it“
- That’s for the average user - tech-savvy users can do whatever they want.
- Everything that’s scripted or done with n8n falls into my responsibility, and in addition makes processes less stable and flexible.
So Seatable’s core strength, in my opinion, and what sets it apart from other systems, is the fact that it gives people like @ppm full control over the implemention of their processes.
The whole reason for this lengthy background: I hope it’s OK for you if we keep suggesting functions that might be done with scripts and n8n as well, but would enable a lot more GUI-only users to fully own their bases, data and processes when implemented in the GUI.
