Adding a value to field in linked form

[Victor Warner]

I would like to know, with a script, to add the value to a field in all the records in a linked form.

Eg first form (Clients) has a linked to Form (Work), and I wish to add a value to a field in the second form for the records related to a record in the first form, with a script. In the example database attached, adding ‘yes’ to the paid field in the Work form for any of the records linked to one of the persons in the first.

I am (vaguely) aware that I need to use a loop but cannot work out how to structure the script  (or what actions/commands I need to use).

Any help gratefully received.

Here we go:

function Mark_Paid() {
   const work_id = 'fld-63db4733fa4546fe9df066f3e921c56a';
   const work__paid_id = 'fld-f823bbee88464542afd84e0c5f2c7fb8';

   // get all work records
   let workRecs = record.getFieldValue(work_id);

   // loop over all work records
   for (workRec of workRecs){
      workRec.setFieldValue(work__paid_id, "Yes");
   }

   // Save changes
   document.saveAllChanges();
}

Mark_Paid();
