Can changes made in a Connected Table be reflected in the source table?

Changes made in a Connected Table are typically unidirectional, meaning that while you can view and potentially work with data from the source table within your connected table, any alterations made in the connected table do not propagate back to the source table. This nature of the connection implies that the source table remains static relative to the changes in the connected table.

This structure is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that the original data remains unchanged unless explicitly modified by an authorized user directly within the source table. The design of Quickbase’s connected tables helps to manage relationships while preventing unintended modifications to the source data.

Understanding this principle is vital for effective data management and ensures users are aware of how data is accessed and manipulated within Quickbase applications.
