Connector Improvement: Enhanced the Ironclad connector with the record parent/child relationship links table
Answered
As an Integration Engineer, I require a new table with parent/child relationship links from records. The currently existing record_link table does not possess this type of relationship. The record_link table only contains related record links.
I would suggest to create a new table with these links and to remember that these links are directional unlike record_link which are bi-directional. There is a clear link between a parent and child records and therefore it would be good to have the parent record id in one column and the child record ids in a different column.
The data for parent and child record id can be retrieved using the parentId field in the child record payload in the /public/api/v1/records/ GET endpoint or alternatively from the array childIds[] on the parent record payload.
This functionality would mean a lot to us and it is a highly requested feature that would unlock a lot of potential use cases.

Hi Marcin,
Thanks for the input. I can see the value of the parent child relationship information. Can you confirm if these ids will not be in the record_link/links column? This will help us to ensure we dont end up with redundant or duplicate data.
Basis your inputs, we will add this to our backlog and take the next steps.
Thanks.
