I’m trying to work through duplicates by auto linking to the same database (1 to many). And auto linking based on the field to check for duplicate. But it just doesn’t want to to work and only links to itself and that’s all.

You’ll probably need a many-to-many relation for it to work as you expect.

Indeed! That works. But then the bug is a bit different: When I changed it from 1 to many, to many to many, it turned off the autolinking and the switch was disabled. So I thought autolinking doesn’t work on many to many for some reason. But all good now thanks!
