I am creating an automation script in transferring data from a source table to a target table. The source contains AI generated responses so everything is in text. I have 4 fields in the target table as single-select fields and I found out that the error I am getting is for those fields. Here's the code below. Hope someone can help. let sourceTable = base.getTable('Update Repository'); let targetTable = base.getTable('UPdates');  let inputConfig = input.config();let recordId&nbs

Greetings mighty Airtable community,We are trying to set up a very simple automation called "FIND SIMILAR RECORDS" within our blog article base (hundreds maybe thousands of records/titles/articles) that would look like the example below. When a new record is created, we'd like to automatically Find and Group (and Sort) similar records in order to look for redundancy or duplicates. Meaning:Every time someone goes to "create a new record"When "specific service" field is [current item] entered into the new recordAnd/Or "keyword" is [current item] entered into the new recordAutomatically Find and Group similar records in order to look for redundancy or duplicatesWe'd like this to be an automation rather than to set it up as a simple search option.It seems like a simple request but the free version will not play nice. When we asked Airtable support if th

Is it possible to add logo in Interface Form?

In the Change Request form I've created, users can enter information about a change request -- item, change type, notes, screenshots, etc -- and then they can use a multiple select dropdown to choose up to four Regions where the changes should apply.I'm using a Repeating group to cycle through the Regions input to create a separate record for each Region. 4 Regions chosen, 4 rows, 3 Regions chosen, 3 rows, etc. Beautiful! The trouble is, it also creates a single row with ALL 4 or ALL 3 regions etc on it. How do I stop that?

I set prefill data for certain columns and created form for other fields. On entering form data, new row is created but these prefill records returned empty. I thought new row will contain prefill data regardless of how it is created. I referred this for temp solution: Can I prefill a portion of a form?

Hey guys, is there any way to Web Scrape Data from Websites into Airtable? It’s actually just a single row I need. Best regards

I need my company logo to appear in every record in a table so that I can have it appear on the sales brochure I create in extensions (unless someone can explain how to do this using the static element there but I can't find a way to attach it there).Is there a way (possibly an automation?) to have that field auto-fill with the attachment whenever a new record is created? Thank you

I added a button field to my interface but it’s not clickable. I don’t see an option to make it editable when I go to the properties to try to configure. I’m assuming this is a bug — buttons would be handy to include on an interface!

Hi there!  Sorry - this is probably simple - but I'm having trouble finding a simple solution for the sample issue below (pretend scenario for ease of explaining):I own a fruit store, and I sell individual fruits & bundles of fruits:Table 1: Multiple records of Fruits (apple, orange, banana, watermelon, cantaloupe)Table 2: Multiple records that are Bundles of Fruits (Red Bundle contains apple & watermelon, Melon bundle contains watermelon & cantaloupe) where I have the Bundles linked to the Individual Fruits recordsTable 3: I would like to create a third table that would be my Total Inventory - so each record in this third table is the individual Fruits as well as the Bundles.  I would like to have this third table autopopulated, so I don't have to remember to manually update the Total Inventory table every time I add in a new individual fruit or bundle.Is this possible?  And the reason I want this in the f

We've been wrangling with this for some time. At first I thought it was a laptop vs iPad issue, but today I confirm that it is not - it seems like a bug. Appreciate anyone who can help, please. I created a dropdown selection in the Interface. And whenever I need a new option, I simply type in the new value and the Add Option comes up. However, my user does not have the add option. See pics attached.  

I have monthly price lists that I'm looking to combine into a "master" combined price list.  The appended base provides 3 monthly price lists, along with a 4th table that exemplifies the desired output table.  In the "Combined Price List - Desired Output" table, a field is allocated to each of the respective monthly price lists.  I'm looking for a way to automate the creation of the 4th table.  Ideally, the 4th table would update if the monthly price list tables are updated.  Base Link  

hi! I have an error in my base that when a project name is changed, the allocation column is deleted. I do not want this to happen, please give guidance on how to adjust automations so that project name changes will not delete allocations. Thanks!

I want to give one link to my users that will help them fill out two forms with pre-filled fields in them. The first form would have pre-filled in field called ProgramID. I'd like it to redirect (or have a button to) a second form with the same ProgramID pre-filled.  I can't for the life of me figure this out even thought this was a pretty straightforward feature on Typeform.  Any one have a solution? I just would really prefer having one flow vs. having to share two different links. Thank you so much!

I have an automation that runs a script to trigger a webhook in Power Automate.  This correctly pushes the Expiring URL to Flow.My next step however doesn't work. PA seems to want a filename in the path URL. Airtable doesn't generate the URL like that.Is there a way to reformat the expiring URL to have a ".jpg" at the end? 

Is it possible to prefill a form with an attachment field so an image renders on the form? I see this question has been asked twice but no one answered. If possible, it would save us soooo much time.

Hi,Haven't worked with Airtable for a while, so have missed a lot of updates. I need to build a base where over 200 records needs review and given input for potential change. There is multiple reviewers, and I need to track which reviewer ok'ed or suggested change for what.200+ records would obviously be an endless form, so I am looking at Interfaces and the new Record Review, which seems promising, but I can't figure out how to allow multiple reviewers to give separate input?The reviewers are external, but could be onboarded to Airtable. Ideally, I'd like to use a form to populate a 'reviewer' table with information, and then automate a link to the Record Review. Hoping for input, thanks! 

I've used this very helpful page to be able to export my tables out of air table and into Power Query, and from there into Excel: Sending Airtable Data to Microsoft Power BI & Power Query | Airtable SupportHowever, I'm having an issue that some seemingly random columns aren't being picked up by PowerQuery. I've done this with 5 tables, some have worked perfectly, some haven't. The columns that are missing are different types, sometimes check boxes, sometimes free text fields. I can't work out what the pattern might be, and therefore how I might fix it.I'm hoping someone might have come across the same issue in the past, and know exactly what I'm talking about and how to fix it. 

When using a timeline view for tasks, we know if you group by Project, it's a nice way of being able to view all Project tasks in a neat and concise way, side by side.Is there a way to order the Projects (vertically) by the earliest task?  At the moment the only options are alphabetically A-Z or Z-A.  This would help with schedulingAs a temporary measure I'm adding a number to the start of the project name to force the order I want but unsure if there's any other work around...Screen grab for context (sorry about the blanking out of info)  

Hello, I am trying to calculate the difference between two dates, excluding weekends. Datediff. However, weekend is Friday and Saturday at my company. Workday doesn’t help much since it assumes weekends are Saturdays and Sundays. Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi all, We are on the Pro plan, which seems to default duplicated views to personal even if they were originally collaborative. We mainly use Airtable for grid views, though I’m not sure that has anything to do with the issue. I have searched high and low for a setting or option to NOT do this, as we would prefer duplicated collaborative views to stay collaborative, and not have to manually change it each time. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm simply trying to subtract hours in one field from hours in another. I have a column with 'hours recorded' and one with 'hours billed'. They are both formatted as time units (hours). I just want to subtract one from the other in a new field. As an additional question is there a way to set the hour units to just hours, with no minutes, at the moment it's h:mm and I need to enter a 0 for minutes each time Thanks   

Do you ever wanted to query your airtable in SQL with no sync ? Now it is possible thanks to SQLify. Connect your airtable account, use SQL to query and create a PostgreSQL compatible DB. Would be happy to have your feedback, we are still in beta 🙂 

I'm trying to connect MS Power Automate to Airtable. A lot of info seems to be stale out there. I have this flow, which parses data. I found this step HTTP Webhook. I'm hoping to make this a trigger for an Airtable automation. However, when I run the flow, it gives me a bad request error at this step.Does anyone know if this is possible to set up like this?  

I am a student and currently working on digitalizing and automating the administration for a dance school. The Airtable base is already set up and in use. Now, I want to implement additional features and make adjustments. I am working within the same account that the dance school uses.How can I create a kind of development environment where I can experiment and test new features, while keeping the current Airtable base active and unchanged? I would like to implement individual features into the active base only after testing.Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed?

I'm trying to build an automation that uses a custom script to determine whether all necessary leads have been assigned to a record within the base. The teamsNeeded field (multiple select field type) determines the teams that need leads on the record. Each team then has a lead field (single select field type) where the lead is selected. If "Comms" and "KM" are selected in the teamsNeeded field then the "Comms Lead" and "KM Lead" field need to have a selection/not be empty.I have limited scripting experience but have been able to build the one below. The issue is that it is outputting 'All Leads Assigned' even when leads are missing. The console log for teamsNeeded shows that all teams are being captured - the log for the example with "Comms" and "KM" in the teamsNeeded field reads "teamsNeeded (2) ["Comms", "KM"].Is there something I am missing that is causing the output to always be 'All Leads Assigned' instead of 'Leads Missing' when leads are missing?
