I’m trying to create an action button that allows engineers to quickly scan items they’ve at a job whilst they’re on the job record.

Unfortunately, trying to do this results in an error:

I’ve done some testing and this appears to be an issue for 1-M relationships (collections) - scanning a barcode and creating a record that’s a M-1 or 1-1 relationship doesn’t throw up this error.
