Using API to create a new record with a relation field

Question

I'm currently developing a webform that saves the forms' info into Sugar, using the Sugar API.

Everything is working fine except for one type of field in Sugar which I am having difficulties trying to save to.

That field type is relation field.

While the other field is simple and straightforward, I can't find any instruction or examples on how to save data to this field type.

Hi Lifu Sun , If I understand correctly, records are created for Module_A. You then have a relationship from Module_A->Module_B and Module_A->Module_C. You then have two scenarios: Scenario 1 : Records for Module_B and Module_C already exist. When creating the record for Module_A, you only need to define the relationships. Possible Solution : You can use the link API for this. Documentation on that is located here . Scenario 2 : Records for Module_B and Module_C do not exist yet. When creating the record for Module_A, you must also create Module_B and Module_C records that are related to Module_A. Possible Solution : Please see our documentation here for details on how to create related records. Hope this helps. Nathaniel
