Overview
A relationship attribute links a record to records in another object. For example, a subscription can belong to one company, while a company can have many subscriptions. This lets the subscription keep its own fields while remaining connected to the company it describes. Creating the attribute defines which records can be linked. Your integration or API must then supply the links between individual records.Decide how many records can be linked
For each direction, choose how many related records a single record can have.
The same company–subscription relationship is many to one when read from the
subscription side. Read both directions before saving. One means at most one
related record; many allows several. At least one direction must allow many records.
