Hello all, I created a form, and one of the field values needs to be "1" as the default value. However, I need that hidden so that when someone goes to submit data, they don't have to fill that field in as "1".Now this is what I have:I tried hiding this field from the form options listed, but when I go to submit this form - it doesn't display a "1" in the field value on the table view. I also tried this method on the table view:When I go to create a record on the table view - it does default the value to "1", but on form submission - it does not. Any idea what it is that I'm doing wrong?Thanks. 

Any way to clear all records or delete a table through script?This don't work:do{let table = base.tables.pop();console.log(`Goodbye, ${table.name}!`);}while(base.tables.length>0) 

Trying to create a form I click “add a field to this table” I see under “Single line text” (type of field the words “A single line of text. You can optionally prefill each new cell with a default value.” see attached that’s what I want to do but can’t figure out how to actually do that? TIA for any ideas here…

Our team uses airtable to track orders and get through a large list of records each day. I have a view setup that removes a record when a box is checked (completed) so we only see what's left to work on. Our records are grouped by client and some clients have multiple records. Due to the filter, as you click the checkbox on 1 record it disappears from the list which only allows you to click one at a time. Any solution you could think of to select all the records in one grouping and bulk edit them to "checked"?

I have 1 large airtable with jobs that I sync to airtable bases of clients in the same workspace.Now they should not be able to edit these jobs, so that's perfect.However, within that tab I want them to be able to add other jobs they might have, only for their use. How can I do this? I cannot see any way of doing this, and I don't want it to be a two-way sync, as those jobs should only visible for them. Ideally in the same tab as the other non-editable jobs. Is there a workaround?In some other tab they can link jobs to applicants with a linked record. I want that to still be the same job tab, otherwise It would not work well (if I have them make jobs in a different job tab)...Any workaround or creative wizardry?

Have a deal with a company to lower their costs on segments and get a cut per segment. The commission is based on costs cut which vary by segment. As I’m working through them one by one, the commission start dates are different per account.How can I set up a system that will take a commission start date and make a new record for every month from start date up until current month.Would like for this to work retroactively, meaning if the date was April 2024 it should automatically create records from April up until today, and a new record per segment for every future month automatically. 

Hi all, I am importing JSON into Airtable and parsing it into fields using REG_EXTRACT.Some of the JSON data are blocks of text that have "\n" (without the quotes) in place of carriage returns. Airtable treats the \n as text rather than carriage returns in the output of the REG_EXTRACT function.How can I replace the \n text characters with actual carriage returns?

Hello all!I’m working with an interface in Airtable where each record has a side panel that opens when I click on it, showing more information related to that record. When I click the link button at the top-right corner of the panel, I get a unique URL that directs me to that record with the side panel already opened, were I to paste it into a new window or share with a colleague.For example, each record has a unique detail parameter in the URL that seems to encode both the record ID and other information. I’ve tried creating a formula to dynamically generate these URLs based on the RECORD_ID(), but I can't figure out how to replicate the exact structure of the detail parameter that opens the side panel view for each record. I've used AI to try and help, but the best solution proposed so far is manually entering each URL into the field.... Not happening. My goal is to create a button (or use a formula) that I can put in another interface page, using the same data(table) as th

I’d like to show a single calculated column of data (field 2) in an embedded table without the primary field (field 1). I recognise that I can’t hide the primary field within Airtable - but in the iframe code? Is there any way via: html creating a linked table and embedding that some other solution? Help please!

Hey can someone tell me why I keep getting a error I tried so many different ways that I know but i seem to can't figure It out😩

Here is a link to a quick video...how do I import from a .csv file and route certain fields to certain tables, and maintain the links and relationships?It seems like I have to import to each table separately, and then somehow re-link after the imports?What is best practice for doing this?https://share.zight.com/kpuvqg4q

Dear Community,i am new in the Airtable Universe and try to achieve the following:I have a Set of around 45 columns that i would like to export to a CSV - also with individual delimeter, i need semicolon instead of comma for example.I use a view to reduce the fields to the set i need.If possible i would want to do this via automation / script etc.I would not like to buy any additional programm or tool here, i seek your knowledge of how to script this or maybe with regular automations doable?Thank you for all input possible on this 🙂Have a great evening.BrChris

Hi there,we want to use Airtable Interfaces on Android phones in our field operations. The main challenge I'm encountering:When making edits to a barcode field (scanning a barcode or typing something), these edits seem to exist on the local phone only. They show on that phone in different Interface-views. However, the edits cannot be seen on a different device and are gone when the app is closed and re-opened. Hence, I believe the edits to a barcode-field on Interfaces on Android are never uploaded to the base. We've tried this on different Android-devices and always encounter this problem.Any recommendations on how to solve this would be much appreciated!

I’m currently creating an order form that will populate in the a table. I’ve noticed that if I make a typo in the field name on the form view, the typo will stay on the table view even when it is corrected on the form view. Is there a way to avoid fixing errors twice? This also happens if I enter a field on the table view and change the name on the form view. They end up not matching up. This may be user error but some guidance would be appreciated.

Hey, I’ve set-up a rather long form, and I’d like to divide it and give an explanation in that division. For instance, a section header: “Tell us about yourself” and then a short paragraph below: The next few questions ask about your name and your job. Fill them in for yourself and anyone in your group who is coming. The form gives space for four people and another spot to add even more if needed. Once you’ve given the names of all the people in your group, skip to “Your Preferences” below. Is there a way to do something like this?

Hello Airtable people!I am trying to use the Rest API through a python script to create a subcategories table with a multipleRecordLinks field that links to a category table. I am having the toughest time trying to create this field and decipher the error messages I am getting. I am hoping someone on this community can help me.My first attempt looked something like this:{"description": "A list of all of the subcategories","fields": [{"name": "Category","options": {"linkedTableId": "tblPyvCqwd50kh7P2","inverseLinkFieldId": "flduKctYyZ1ckgVxR","isReversed": false,"prefersSingleRecordLink" : true},"type": "multipleRecordLinks"},{"description": "Name of the subcategory","name": "Subcategory Name","type": "singleLineText"},{"name": "Display Color","type": "singleLineText"}],"name": "SubCategories"}And I get this error message saying that options that I've included are not included:{'error': {'message': 'Invalid options for SubCategories.Category: Failed ''schema validation: inverseLinkField

Hello, i’d read all discussions here to resolve my issue and nothing work, how i can get it done with this discussion :slightly_smiling_face: for this i created two tables, one contain survey results and the second contain users entries, they add their profil and based on automation airable add via the linked field all similar profil, until this point all is good. For one of the survey questions, i asked people for main daily missions they do (multiple select field), when i check the lookup or rollup field that get missions data from all result i see many missions many times, i would like to have unique values but seems impossible, i tried all tips that i found here :confused: any advice please ?

When you are exporting an attachment value from the API the JSON object has multiple properties: url, width, height, etc. We have made it possible to distill the JSON down on our platform, https://www.csvgetter.com.This means, if you'd like just want image URLs in an Airtable CSV export, you can do it quite easily now. Check out this brief video demo of how it works:https://youtu.be/4IvIj0ir-BY 

I've seen this question, but not the type of answer I'm hoping for. A CURL example is a great for me to translate the request. Similar to the CURL examples in the docs for List Records, it looks like I should be able to request records 101-200 using the offset value returned in the original request. The docs say it's a Query, therefore: ...?offset=itrvDOnB9cbRDnn63/rec1VA0JPORC2S9Zz It's not working. I haven't inspected the returned headers yet. So the questions:-- should the request be RAW or POST?--should/could the request be a JSON payload instead of querystring params? I need to retrieve thousands of records. My follow up question for data from a different table, USING JSON Payloads can I somehow filter fields? There are many fields I really don't want to process on my end.Thanks,ScottIDS PS: I plan on using POSTMAN for testing.

Hi there,I'm facing this issue unfortunetly i checked on the community but none of the solutions work for me.This is the error: "type" Invalid_Offset_Value - The value of offset 100 is invalid.I'm trying to get 350 rows. I already did a first api call to get the first 100 rows, what i need is to continue with the second call.When i try this url https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome everything work fine, when i use the same URL adding the offset value, i get the error: https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome&offset=100What am i doing wrong? I can't work much on the code, i just can modify the URL. I've also tried to put the recordId instead of the "100" but i get the same reply. Hope you can help, thank you very much

Hi, is there a formula to pull the date that a specific cell was updated?For context; I use Airtable to confirm bookings for my business, and do weekly reports on these. The reporting is currently based on 'created date' as I only add them to the system when they are about to be confirmed. However, there has become a need to add them to the system as soon as I receive the booking request so I can follow up on any tentative bookings. However, if they aren't confirmed until the following week or later, they will fall into the wrong reporting week. I'd like to change my reporting filters to be based on 'created date' OR a new formula field that pulls the date the 'Status' field was change to 'Confirmed'.I have other automation in play to manage tentative bookings, but it's failing and this formula would be a much better solution (if it exists).Any help would be much appreciated!

Link to video talk thru:https://share.zight.com/2NuoL7deI am currently in the process of comparing some Upwork freelancers who are helping me with researching the Ownership of commercial properties in the US, and contact information for those owners. Before embarking on a larger (and more costly) project of 40,000 properties, I had several providers run a Trial with 100 Properties, all of which I know the owners and their contact information.I'm trying to figure out who to somewhat normalize the data and compare each provider's results with my data, so that I can pick the right partner.Not sure how to do it, but I'm looking to have an accuracy % for each Provider for each field and in total.My thinking is something along the lines of importing it all into a new base, somehow using the Property Address as the Grouping field, and showing my MASTER ANSWER key and all 8 data files from the service providers and using Conditional Formatting compared to the MASTER to color code for exact mat

Well, as a certain happens as my business grows in my system grows, I'm realizing that I need to do some tweaks and I'm wondering what you would recommend here. I'm sure everybody has run into the situation. I've created two separate linked fields in one table and I wanna narrow it down to just linking one and looking up the other so now that I've got data in it. How do I get to where I wanna be here's a video explaining more. https://share.zight.com/o0uAdlqk

Is there ANY possible way to add color to the "Number" field inside the interface?I would love to change this dynamically; if positive green, when negative red. I have a bunch of these numbers on my interface that I'd like to track, and having this basic functionality would help to draw attention 

I am working on a project for a service company. I have a table with clients and then a table of projects that are linked back to the client. Clients are assigned a rate based on different factors. The rate is carried through to any of the projects they are linked to via lookup field. However, I would like to override the lookup field should we have a promotional rate or a specific project needs to be billed at a different hourly rate. Any suggestions?
