FAQs

Can I export or import relations?

When you export a relational database as a CSV file, the relation properties will export as plain text URLs. For now, you can't re-import that CSV back into Notion to re-establish the relations with other databases.

Can I duplicate a database with a relation?

Yes. In the example above, if you duplicate the Customers database, the duplicate database, Customers (1), will not show as a relation in the Items database. That’s because upon duplicating the Customers database, we convert the relation from a 2-way sync to a 1-way sync. If you'd like, you can always convert the relation back to a 2-way sync.

Can I rollup a rollup?

Unfortunately not, as this could create unintended loops. We recommend sticking to rolling up other properties 😊
