External data sources - Sync with source is not supported for relational fields

Hi,

I’m using Xano and considering Softr as our new no-code platform. However, I’ve noticed that relational fields aren’t being synced.

For example, if I have a Projects page and want to create a new project with a relational field pointing to all my Customers, I’m unable to create a dropdown in Softr that lists those customers. In other words, I can’t select which customer the project should be linked to.

How are others handling this when using Xano or Supabase? Are there any clever workarounds to make this work?

Thanks

Hi @C_Neervig

Thanks a lot for reaching out, you can try using the ENUM types both on Supabase and Xano for automatic syncing of the relational fields with the dropdowns on the Softr blocks.

Best,

Thanks for answering @Andranik but I can’t use enum fields for relationship fields in Xano. Yes, I can create an enum field called Customers and add all the customers names, so it works as a select/multi select field in Softr, but it won’t be related to the Customers table I have in Xano. Or am I missing something here?
