Appending Field Value to a Many to Many Connection Field with Column Actions

Hi, I am trying to create a form that tracks a list of Employees in different Business (many-many). When a new Employee creates an account, they can submit a request to be added as an Employee of a certain Business. Existing Employees of the Business can approve or deny their request.

When an existing Employee approves a request, I want a table action to append the requesting Employee (stored as a field value on the request form) to the existing many-many connection field connecting Businesses to Employees. This is not supported by Knack, and old forum posts from support.knack.com have suggested this might be possible with Javascript.

Any ideas? Thanks
