The Long Text field in Airtable is currently way too small. It was previously possible to expand the size of the long text field to make it easier to read…. long text….I wish that they would bring back the option to resize this field so that it wasn’t such a pain to use. If resizing isn’t possible to bring back, then I wish that they would either:1) Expand the default size significantly;2) Allow users to make the long text field full screen; or3) Make the Long Text input box responsive so that it increases and decreases in size based on the amount of long text that is in the field.This would prevent users from having to constantly scroll to see long text in the long text field. We don’t need this to be as feature friendly as a full scale text editor (although that would also be great), but it should at least allow you to easily see the long text that is in this field without having to scroll for hours. It’s a huge pain to use for long text in its current form. So much wasted space!!!
Long text preview too small? Not anymore!This script lets you resize the modal and set your own default width / height. To use it, you’ll need to use Tampermonkey (https://www.tampermonkey.net/) Happy to fix any bugs or issues, please let me know about them and I’ll do what I can!

Hello,I am new here and am trying to find a way to create a new record (and auto-populate some data into this new record) when the user pushes a button on a different table.Example:I have table A and table B. I want to find a way whereby if the '2024 Definate Grow out' box is checked on a given record in table A, a new record is automatically inserted into table B, which copies over some of the data from the relevant record in table A into this new record in table B. I have managed to create an automation which inserts a new record in Table B every time I push the button on a record in Table A, but do not know how to copy across the data into the new record on Table B or if this is even possible. Thank you! Z
Looking for a better way to setup this interface so that it is more efficient. I’m currently using a list view to enter information to create a project estimate. In the photo, the user enters information for each workspace they are updating. There could be up to 15 workspaces but I don’t want to list 15 seperate sections on this view. I would rather it be setup to where the user would enter the data for the 1st workspace and if needed have an option to add a 2nd, 3rd, and so on but not have to show all 15 empty workspaces like shown. The 2nd part of this is when the estimate is emailed to the team, all of the workspaces are showing up as a grid whether or not information has been filled in. Optimally, I only want workspaces to show up if data has been entered.
I WANT THE DETAILS OF THE SUBMITTED FORM TO APPEAR ON GOOGLE SHEETS… I KEEP ON TESTING THE AUTOMATION AND IT POPULATES IN GOOGLE SHEETS BUT WHEN I TURN IT ON TO WORK AUTOMATICALLY NOTHING HAPPENS… WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
I’m having trouble making a successful API request via Postman, and a co-worker pointed out that the documentation says a requirement is for the user to be an “Enterprise admin”.See here: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/hyperdb-table-read-recordsWhat admin roles, listed on the page below, does that refer to?https://support.airtable.com/v1/docs/admin-roles-in-admin-panel-overview-and-managementMy current role is an “Integration admin”. Does this role count as an “Enterprise admin”? Do all those listed roles count? Are these different contexts?
I’m using Airtable to organize a writing group, and I’m trying to set up an automation that will send a weekly reminder about the meeting on the day before we meet, but only to the people who opt into the reminders (who are all listed in a “Reminders List” view of my “Members” table). However, when I activate the automation, it sends multiple emails to each person on the list. How have folks set up weekly reminders to a designated group? I can’t seem to get the table’s “email” field to work as a correct input for “To” so I’ve used another airtable community post’s recommendation of the “find records” action to make a list of people needing the email...but now instead of four people each receiving the email once, each of us receives the email four times. Here’s what I currently have set up, in case that’s helpful:Trigger: at a scheduled time (Mondays at 10am) - WORKS First Action: find records (From the “Members” table, make a list of everyone in the “reminders list” view) - WORKS Secon
Hi there,I am using webhooks to send data from our base to our application endpoint, but we've observed that if our endpoint fails to respond correctly, the webhook is retried many times.While we work on making our endpoint more resilient, the volume of retries can cause issues.Is there any setting, configuration, or recommended best practice from your end that we can use as a workaround to prevent or immediately stop a webhook from retrying upon the first failure?Our goal is to have more direct control over the retry behavior to avoid overloading our systems during an incident.Thank you for your guidance.
Hi, wonder if I can relate data in different workspaces. Or it will be completely separated?

Hello I struggle to configure an action button in the Record Detail view: I wish to update a check box field to ‘NO’ and then to ‘YES’ such that to trigger an automation, but that does not work. It is weird that if I configure both Updates to ‘YES’, the Button takes the ‘After.. ‘ appearance as default. What am I missing?Thanks 2 Updates Button This is what I wish to doWeird behaviour (??)
I’m trying to use the record review interface in one of my interfaces, but instead of loading the record details, it just shows a persistent loading spinner and nothing ever appears. I’ve tried refreshing and checking permissions. Has anyone encountered this before or found a fix?
Hello!When uploading images/attachments, the images are being put all into the same “Attachment” cell. I am trying to find a method that forces each image to get its own row in the table instead of being grouped together in a single cell.Can anyone help me out with this?Thanks,Doug.
What are some good software options for automating generation of word docs using data from a record in Airtable? I would like to be able to trigger the automation in an Airtable interface (as opposed to an extension on the data side).
I have a form that someone may fill out multiple times using the same email address. I want to use that email address to update the original record created with the new information (if it is new). Can someone guide me through the automation to do this?
