When I query the API for database records, how can I tell if a record is connected to a parent card?
From what I can tell, the ‘Parent Connection’ property only shows if a connection exists, not whether any specific record is actually connected to a card.
If this is not possible, is there a way to do this from the other end - use the API to see if a card has any child records connected?
Thank you.

Hi!
When querying the API for database records, the “Parent Connection” field indicates that a connection could exist, but it doesn't confirm whether a specific record is actually linked to a parent card.
Unfortunately, at the moment there’s no direct way via the table_record object to see which card (if any) it’s connected to.
The recommended workaround is to approach this from the other direction by querying a card and checking its connected records. You can do this using the card query and inspecting the fields that connect to your database. Here's an example:
query
{ card(id: YOUR_CARD_ID)
{ id fields { name value }
}
}
If you know the name or ID of the connection field, you can filter or locate the specific value that links to a table record.
