Bulk Add a Linked Records to Fields that have existing Linked Records

So sometimes I find myself in a situation where I want to do something that sounds simple: I want to link a record to multiple records at a time. Which is usually easy if there’s only one linked record present in a field, but not so much if linked records already exist.

I can’t copy and paste because that will overwrite the existing records and I want to keep those. I can technically update it bulk from the PTO Requests table, but only if I have my People names in a comma-separated array, which I don’t. So I’m using a script.

I’m sure you can dial this into your needs a little bit more, but this script works by adding everyone in the People table to the visible records in the Holiday view of the PTO table.
