Link To Entry field

A Link To Entry field may contain a link to a library.

For many-to-many links

When an entry is created or edited, the user may select the entries in the linked library to which the new entry will be linked.

For one-to-many links

When an entry is created or edited, the user may select the entry in the linked library to which the new entry will be linked.

For one-to-one links

When an entry is created or edited, the user may select the entry in the linked library to which the new entry will be linked. If the selected entry is already linked to another entry in the current library, the attempt will be disallowed.

In addition to creating a Link To Entry field in the normal fashion, one may also insert a Relationship, which accomplishes the same thing. This method may be more intuitive for some users.

When an entry is created, the user will be prompted to establish the value of the field, which involves accessing the target library and displaying an Entry List, enabling selection of target entry(ies). The user also may relink a library when the entry is edited.

Once linked, fields in the linked library may be referenced from the current library from Calculation field scripts, JavaScript field scripts, and from aggregation functions.
