Relationships Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Records:<\/strong> The “parent” of all data. Contains fields, subrecords, and entries (if relevant). Cannot be contained in anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Fields:<\/strong> Always part of a record and can contain subrecords. Fields do not exist outside records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Subrecords:<\/strong> Exist only inside fields. They represent granular details within a field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Entries:<\/strong> Found inside specific record types like leveled lists (e.g., LVLI<\/code>). They point to other records or objects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. References:<\/strong> The “child” of records. Appear in the game world as instances of a record but cannot contain anything themselves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
