I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the Notion Database Writer node not correctly handling parent item relations. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the problem: When using the Notion Database Writer node to create entries in a Notion database that should include parent-child relationships: - The node successfully finds/extracts the parent item (confirmed in flow) - However, new items are always added to the root of the database - The parent-child relation is not being established despite providing the correct parent item ID/URL Attempted Solutions I’ve tried several approaches to resolve this issue: - Added a Filter node between Extract Data and Notion Database Writer to ensure only valid parent values are passed - Implemented a Find And Replace node to transform the ID format (thinking it might be a formatting issue) - Tried different formats of the parent ID (full ID with category name vs. just the UUID portion) None of these solutions have resolved the issue, suggesting there may be a fundamental limitation with how the Notion Database Writer node handles relation fields. Please investigate if there’s a known limitation with the Notion Database Writer node regarding parent-child relations. If this is a bug, I’d appreciate a fix or workaround to properly establish parent-child relationships in my Notion database through Gumloop. ---

Hey @Misha_HarnexAI! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the **run link** and make sure it’s **shareable** so we can take a look. 1. **Find your run link** on the history page.

Hey @Misha_HarnexAI – This is not a bug, unfortunately at the moment relational fields are not yet supported on the Notion nodes. That said, its on the roadmap and I can add your request to it as well. ---
