Hi, I’m not quite sure exactly what you want to do but:  
I don’t see that you need a specific Form table - Fillout can update an already existing table (probably Projects or Clients).  
Also Fillout can update a linked record

It depends - if you have a linked record in Table A (that is linked to Table B), then you can use the “Create Records” option in Fillout to update Table B.  
Fillout is brilliant but their explanations in the help docs (I find) hard to follow.  
They do have a video on the “Create Records” option which is not too bad.

You also can make an automation in Airtable to update records on trigger New Form Entry

Here is a link to YouTube video that describes how to do what you are asking with Fillout. I used it to do exactly the same thing. It is Gareth Provonost of GAP Consulting who does tons of Airtable tutorials on YouTube. I’ve learned a lot from him.

Good luck.
