Hey Mark, big thanks as always for your reply.  Understood on the showstopper, but you did catch my attention with a script code page.  Is that some kind of new feature?

No it's not a new feature.  But you need to know how to write real code to make a code page.  It's not "low code -no code".  It's real code.  Javascript, I believe.

    Ah I see, well we've slowly started looking into that as our needs have become more advanced.

    Looks like we will use an automation for now, but will continue to gain more knowledge and move towards learning javascript.

    Thanks Mark!

      Since you're going to be creating records on multiple tables, I'd suggest going ahead and using Pipelines instead of Automations. It's way more flexible with what you're trying to do.
