I can not import a table with link to record field

When I import a csv or excel file to table that have link to record field. All the record of this column will be empty. I also try import first, then I change the field to link to record field, the server timeout and stopworking. I tried with the tables have 30k rows. What I can do now?

A couple of quick questions to help us investigate:

  1. Are you on the cloud version (teable.ai) or a self-hosted?
  2. How large is the table you’re importing into — roughly how many rows and columns?

To answer your question: importing into a Link to Record field is supported — it maps based on text values. That said, with a large dataset like 30k rows, we’d recommend importing in smaller batches to avoid timeouts during the process.

It would really help if you could record a short screen recording of the steps you’re taking and send it to us at support@teable.ai — that way we can get a clearer picture of what’s happening.
