I'm in specific very very very (did I say very) interested in your work regarding bidirectional fields Stian mentioned you were experimenting with
[10:08]
And by bidirectional fields, I mean, that if there are two #organization s A and B and organizations have a field [Competitors: #organization] - then if I insert B as a competitor to A's field, A would appear as competitor in B's field too.

Or similarly, i.e. Project - Client - Team member relationships would show up in all of them without needing

Well, I think it's really the most important additional feature I could imagine having in Tana. It would basically replace my needs for Airtable.

If I tag connect a team member to a project, then if I look at a list of projects, I'd like to see the team members listed
[10:11]
Or if I have a client A that is having a problem B, if I look at the list of problems, I can see all of the clients that have that specific problem
[10:12]
Almost all fields with instances are, in my mind, bidirectional.
[10:13]
References at the bottom help yes, but they are not the same thing at all and don't really help structure and work with the information. They only make the connections somewhat visible.
