AirTable linked records

I am having trouble working with linked records in AirTable. Using GetField on the linked field itself doesn’t return the text of the field — is there a way to get that? And adding a record with a matched value in the linked field doesn’t actually link the record — it creates a new record with the same value in the cross referenced table.

In the linked Table1 field, you get a reference to the _id of the entry in Table2. After that, you can easily get the entire record in Table2 by the record with _id.

For a better understanding, see the contents of Label3.Text in the example below.

%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5

Thank you! I suppose if, while creating a record, I set the foreign key’s _id property to the appropriate value (using SetProperty), then the records will be linked.
