If you want to import a spreadsheet into a Tasks table linked to a project record, which kind of field needs to be a column?

To successfully import a spreadsheet into a Tasks table that is linked to a project record, the column that represents the relationship to the project must be the related project field. This field allows the Tasks table to associate each task directly with its corresponding project. When importing, Quickbase needs to understand the relationship between the records in the Tasks table and the records in the Projects table, which is established through this related project field.

This field typically holds the Record ID of the related project, enabling Quickbase to create a connection between the tasks and the specific project they belong to. When this relationship is properly defined in the import process, tasks can be allocated to the correct projects, maintaining the integrity of the data structure and ensuring that all task entries are correctly linked to their respective projects.

The other options such as the Record ID field, the Reference Proxy Field, and a Formula Field serve different purposes and do not directly facilitate the relationship needed to link tasks to projects during the import process. Thus, having the related project field as a column is essential for maintaining the linkage necessary for data accuracy and usability within Quickbase.
