I want to use short-form videos to promote my long-form videos. The best way to do that would be if the description and "related video" field has a link to the original video that the short was clipped from.
There should be a UI feature, which allows to me to specify how to link back: Related Video, Description or both.

option to fill in the “Related Videos” field for YouTube in the Shorts programming

It would be perfect to add the option when programming YouTube shorts to fill in the “related video” field so that it would already be published with that link, earning TB views in the long video

I second what Ripper wrote below. I also had Gemini 2.5 pro scour the youtube api docs and this feature is internal to Google and the webui. there is no official API endpoint for this, like for some other features (e.g. the checkbox is ist AI generated for long form content). You simply cannot change this.
I currently always copy paste the youtube url when scheduling to all plattforms (or have a "➡️ Link 🔗 in Bio " text ready where links dont work anyhow like TikTok).
Once per day I go to google studio and manually change the related video

Hi Guys,
I had a look at the API documentation but there is no way to add a related video via the API. I assume you are using the API to upload the shorts and publish them. Is it possible for you to do a feature request with youtube to add that to the api functions? And subsequently add a feature to OPUSClip to add a related video to the clips this would be super helpful in driving up engagemetn on the long form videos.
Thanks
Ripper

Like many OpusClip users, I use one of my long form YouTube videos to produce shorts to promote the long form video. Can you add a field to your 'Get clips with 1 clip' feature that can have the 'Related Video' url of the long form video and upload that when posting to YouTube? It would be helpful and I think your customers would appreciate not having to manually link every short published, thus saving time and repetitive effort. Thank you.

I believe this is a YouTube limitation:
What is NOT possible via API: Define specific related videos (as shown in the “Choose a specific video” modal); Link shorts to long videos using native functionality; Access/modify the “Related video (?)” section from YouTube Studio

I'd love adding automatically the link to the original video in the descriptions for social share.
I think is a feature not for all, so if everyone can be activate or deactivate it from social share screen, will be awsome and helpfull :)
