Is it possible to insert a record including multi-reference field into collection using insert() ? I have insert() working fine, but it seems to ignore the multi-reference field. Am I missing something, or is it not possible (it seems not from looking round the forum)? Is there another way to achieve a record created including the multi-reference field? thanks

@mrpowergage There are separate functions for working with reference fields:
