insertReference( )


Inserts a reference in the specified property.

The insertReference() function returns a Promise that resolves when a reference to the referenced item(s) is added to the referring item in the specified property. The Promise is rejected if the current user does not have update permissions for the collection.

Calling the insertReference() function does not trigger any hooks.

Notes:

  • The insertReference() function only applies to multi-reference fields.
  • The insertReference() function is not supported for Single Item Collections.
