Hey Fabian! Welcome to the community :))

It’s technically possible I think, but complicated using this technique:

If you have any questions or suggestions - feel free, to share them here, in comments hugsProblem There are two Databases you would like to connect via [automatic linking] ([Automatically Link entities | Fibery Help Center](https://help.fibery.io/en/articles/4539762-automatically-link-entities)). However, a simple mapping is not enough since one of the linking rules involves a to-many relation: In this example we are trying to connect Conferences and Segments via their Region and Industry…

And having two “contain” Filter grouped with “or”. This is complex, but if you really need it feel free to reach out.

A less complicated route is using lookups. You can add a lookup field on the TestModuleType database to pull the TestProjects using the TestModule field.

If you need it as a relation field, you can have an automation run triggered when the lookup changes, populate the same values in the relation field.

Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but you can play around some more from here :))
