SharePoint list self join?

I've a SharePoint List which I'd like to use for both parent and child references, is it possible to do this?

 

Unfortunately we can't use the dataverse for this project which would make it easier, but is it possible to have a lookup field which looks up to the same List?

 

Thank you

Louise

  • LouiseAspman Yes, it is possible in SharePoint to create lookup column based on same list.

     

    Check this documentation: Create list relationships by using lookup columns
