Inline editing for a linked field does not honour single/multi setting on form

I have a table in my portal that has a linked field to another table. In the edit form, I set the Single Records/Multiple Records in the Advanced section to Single and that works fine on the form as usual. However, if I enable inline editing, then I can put multiple linked records into the field, even though technically, this is not allowed.

I understand that inline editing does not support validation, however, I think that not to honour the Single/Multiple setting should be considered a bug. I am unable to use inline editing for this table as a result of this currently.

Hi Phillip!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will forward this report to our engineering team right away so this can be resolved as soon as possible! We will notify you in this thread once this has been fixed.

My apologies for the inconvenience!

Hi Phillip, this issue should now be resolved. Inline editing now follows the “allow users to select” setting in the child form. Please have another go and let me know if you still run into any unexpected behavior!

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention and my apologies for the inconvenience caused by this!

Hi Hannes, I can confirm that this is fixed for me, thanks for the prompt attention to this, it is appreciated!
