Hi, I am trying to update a connected record which has many to many relation with another object but it fails to update for multiple using API there is a similar question but that solution doesn’t work for me either > [@Add ANOTHER connection using the API and jQuery](https://forums.knack.com/t/add-another-connection-using-the-api-and-jquery/13422/2): > > I finally figured it out so am posting for anyone else who needs to ADD CONNECTIONS to a field that already has some connections in it: It was very confusing because what would come OUT OF the existing array was not the same way that I needed to put it back in! I had to Read the existing connections from the raw connection field Extract ONLY the id from each record Put each existing ID into a temporary array Add the new ID to the temporary array Send the temporary array in my JSON object and… so the scenario is object\_1 and object\_2 has many to to many relation, I am maintaining the relation in object\_1, so when I try to update object\_1 through API, it works for a single record but for multiple it doesn’t. to explain through code object\_1[field\_2]=[id1] works but object\_1[field\_2]=[id1,id2] doesn’t work it saves field\_2 as blank.
