Access to record link data from calculation fields

Paul Wickman

Access the data from a Record Link field inside calculation fields. Specifically, I'd like to grab the coordinates from each record presented in the Record Link field and then (using turf.js) calculate the distance the distance to the nearest record in the other form.

Yes! This would be really helpful for the abiilty to control visibility options based on attributes stored in a linked record that are ties to project name.

Thanks for the suggestion, Paul! Currently, the only info available from record link fields is an array of record IDs. You could possibly leverage the Query API to grab the coordinates for the records and do your spatial analysis on the backend.
