-* <How to hit and notice issue? what was the impact?> ([#????](https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/????), since v?.?.?)
-* None.
+* Fixed forgetting to insert a backlink when inserting a mixed link directly using Table::FieldValues. ([#4899](https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/4899) since the introduction of Mixed in v11.0.0)
  
 ### Breaking changes
 * None.
